SCAM all over it, bet they want to ship it to you.

Go drive down and get it with cash in hand.

If it looks too good to be true...

I suggest that you don't go alone or unarmed. Stinks somewhat!!

If you google his e-mail address it comes up with him having the same add on craigslists all over the country.

Flagged for removal. Darn it i had cash in hand for it. Had sent an email but never heard anything.

It doesn't really matter if you had cash in hand if the vehicle never existed.

Yes i know.

But here is the response i got from the " owner "

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in purchased my 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser, I am selling this vehicle because I am in the military and my unit will be sent back to Afghanistan. I don't want it get old in my garage. Also, the car is too big for my daughter so there's no use on keeping it. The price is low because I need to sell it before Mar 15th. The vehicle is in pristine condition, no accident history, clear title, no dents or dings and no scratches. Always adult driven and garaged, never abused or raced. If you are interested, it's still available for sale and the price, as stated in the ad, is $2600. The vehicle is in U.S. Air Force Base,Madison, WI and in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.


Transmission: Automatic
Fuel type: Gasoline
Interior color: Tan
Exterior color: Black
Mileage: 59,051 miles
Engine: 8 - Cyl
Drivetrain: AWD


Thank you !
Daniel

Aren't you a veteran? Ask him some questions, like unit, etc, that you would have to be in the military to know.

krzy, this is a well known scam... I have seen many like it before, and am sure it won't be the last. I had plenty of these type responses, especially when I was selling. It was always something with being in the military and wanting to know if i'd ship it to uzbekibekistanstan or that they were going to send me some money from said country. Also it was listed in several different areas the same way which is usually a red flag for fraud which is probably why it is being taken down. Craigslist has cracked down on this type stuff

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Yes, i am trying to mees with them hard now. Have said i have a one of my old soldiers there right now and they would look at it for me.

I knew it was too good to be true, just wanted to know if it was anyones locally that did not know it was forsale right now.

And since when is it just U.S. Air Force Base,Madison, WI . It should have a name for the base.

I was stationed in Oklahoma when I was in the Army...

I was stationed at Ft. Sill, OK when I was in the Army, man it sucked...

Which is more believable?
Mess with them super hard if they are pretending to be a soldier... I hate those folks...

 

[krzyabncanuck]

I personnaly believe the second line myself as i knew a few people that had been there.

 

[99UZJay]

It was better than Ft. Lost in the Woods... or Ft. Relaxin' (AKA the other side of hell)

 

[dohcdelsol93]

i always enjoyed the 14hr drive from G'ville SC to Ft. Lost in the woods when i used to go visit my ex wife...she is in the army reserves. She went to boot camp and AIT there. She spent the better part of a year on that base and i made maybe 3 trips out there to see her.

I asked her to marry me on that base!!!

I don't know if i was lucky or not but i was only at 2 posts during my entire 20 plus years.
