[nashville beth]

I say scam. Price seems to good to be true.

Agree. Something wrong here. Looks like a $40,000 or better car.
Somebody is running a scam.

 

[blm]

That’s laughable. Which is exactly what I did when I saw it.

So many scammers on Craigslist!

 

[Mike 70SS]

Shoot I paid that for a 396 car 10 years ago that didn't look that good and didn't have the matching engine. My wife to this day won't let it go that I got hosed.
I just said I was blinded by the light.

Cheaper/safer to get a VIN report... VINData Vehicle History

Does this service give you the complete history of a car, or is it just going to tell me that I have owned my car since 1988?

 

[DUTCH MAX HEADWORK]

It's a scam. As it sits, even without an original engine, ++$50,000.

How does the scam work?

 

[MALIB8TR]

Does this service give you the complete history of a car, or is it just going to tell me that I have owned my car since 1988?

That one I never used, I live in the Toronto area and have to purchase a UVIP (Used Vehicle Information Package) for $20cdn. It contains a description of a vehicle and its Ontario history. As the seller, you are legally required to provide this package to a buyer when you sell a pre-owned vehicle. For newer cars also provides the market value that you will be judged on when you pay your 13% HST taxes.

How does the scam work?

I tried one for fun a couple years ago, I knew it was a scam, but wanted to see what reactions I could get from them. The car was 4500km from me, could only converse by email, she had a sad story to get me to emphasize with her husbands radiation treatments while she was in Ottawa ON while the car was back home in Vancouver BC. She wanted a down payment of $5K by paypal. She would provide the transportation from BC to my house free of charge and collect the balance upon delivery. As soon as she said she was back home in BC I told her I was 20 minutes away from the location of the car and wanted to see it first. That was the last I heard from them.

The build sheet that was in the pic showed an M40 3 speed (AUTO) ?

It's been converted to a 4 speed manual trans. In the Vanguard ad, it states, "The original numbers matching Turbo 400 transmission is included in the sale as well. "
