craigslist 1999 Land Cruiser. Hmmmm.

I kept seeing this orange/red Landcruiser 100 series around town. I like orange and burnt orange and thought it was an interesting color. Always wondered if it would ever come up for sale. Well, it has surfaced on Craigslist. I contacted them the day the add was placed about interest in the Landcruiser, telling them I have seen it around town and wanting to see it in person etc. I did mention the color and asked about it being painted. I hadn't heard anything back until 4 days later I got this response.

"I have a contract on the land cruiser

Sent from my iPhone"

Not really sure what that means, maybe they have a down payment received or something... Does not sound like the typical scams as I see it but just sounds like an odd response. Any opinions out there? I have sent them a message to please let me know if it does not sell and is still available.

Here is the add. 1999 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER

that or maybe he means he has a loan on it?

I would assume he means it's "under contract" aka "Sale Pending" but that's just a guess...

Otherwise they probably would have expounded upon your other queries...

I'd take that as a (bright orange) sign

Ha. I am a fan of orange.

Thanks fellas for the comments. Maybe "sale pending" for the layman....

I will update if I hear more but I assume it is gone.

Funny I reached out and received the same weird response.
