Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

 

typo

 

bullshit. anything too good to be true is.

sorry bud. don't get your hopes up.

 

sounds like one of those craiglist scams.......one time this guy sent me $4,500 in money orders(they can easily be counterfitted) for a $200 bass cab.......he told me to deposit it in my account and send the left over money after shipping to his "old friend" who the bass cab was to be sent to.....way to shady so i never cashed it....sent an email telling the guy this was shady and never heard back.


where was this deal offered...classifieds or some online thing?

 

craigs probably.
i remember seeing this same exact thing with a pic of a red supra.

to craig ftl

 

most likely a scam, does he want any money up front? If you see the car and you don't have to pay him any money up front then I don't see why you couldn't do this. Just ask yourself... why would he be selling this car for so cheap, why wouldn't he want more money out of it?

 

Sounds like a scam to me

 

what kinda info do you have from the guy?

 

SCAM SIR! STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ha ha a clean tt supra for 3000. in your dreams.

 

pass

 

scam to the fullest

 

tell him your a local and you want to meet up with him. then see what he says.

 

yep scam...

just like when i went to get a b16 swap from this shop, and instead got his "buddys" itr swap... 4 months later ****** ****** burns a quart every 3-4 days... ******* embarrassing... but yea i got a good deal 3600 installed for a itr whos complaining ya know.. but its beat to ****

scam stay away or get robbed

 

Same thing happened to me. I was selling a tranny and the guy sent me $9000 cashiers check. He told me to deposit it and send the rest back to him. I wrote back and told him to it was a scam and to go f*&^% himself. He wrote back using the religious game and since then I haven't heard from him.
To the OP don't do it your bank account will thank you.

 

Spam!!!!!! I mean scam!!!!

 

you miht want to check that out cause ive never seen a deal like that it sounds like someone wants to take your money

 

Thanks, all! -James
