This just does not look right. Even a crappy core support sells for $250 and up.

The phishers used to sell $100,000 cars that their dead fathers left them for only $5,000 because it was just too painful to look at the car in the driveway everyday, but now they are parting out their dead brothers cars?

Looks like the seller wants a local pick up only. I don't see anything wrong here.

It is an opening bid, local pickup only, and he has good feedback from people with a lot of feedback. He takes Paypay only. He could be legit. Interesting there are no bids.

This one doesn't look like a scam to me but scammers have always been selling parts or anything else people might buy.

I got scammed years ago on pinch weld molding from an ad in Hemmings. :mad:

I guess I am just suspicious because I needed that core support (repros were not available) about 2 years ago, but so did everyone else. I finally ended up paying close to $300 for one that needed some repair work. I've looked carefully at all the feedback and that all looks fine but the language in the ad shouts out "Foreign origin".

heck I sold a whole front clip for a 70 a couple of weeks ago for $300 including a whole set of t-3 headlights, ext, bezels bumper, grill everything, depending on what part of the country your from, prices Im sure vary. gave away a 72 dog house less, couldnt find a buyer and wanted it out of the yard.
