I believe it’s on page 4 here. “Big money Big money”

Didn't try and contact them, just looked at the phone number and the area code was right. The scam ones I've seen have numbers from across the country or email only. If anyone calls, and it is scammy let me know and I'll delete or put a warning on this.

I was thinking shoot, that makes my lx450 worth about $1200!

Only one pic is another way that it usually gives it away as a scam

They are getting closer to actual prices on vehicles I guess or they got lucky.

Soo how do you delete a post? Still pretty new with this format.

Some obvious clues:

- Price is unrealistically low for the posted mileage
- Only one photo
- Vague description
- No VIN number to verify mileage
- No contact phone number
- Same listing in many markets that are not close to each other
- V6 instead of inline 6, lack of seller knowledge

And it's gone.. when I first looked at the ad there was a 209 area code phone number, that made me think it might be legit.
