Is this a scam.
2004 Acura Tl with 56k for 3523. Read the Email.
First of all I'm very glad that you like my car. It runs and looks great. It has no hidden flaws, no dents, no leaks and it hasn't been involved in any crashes. I have its clear title in hand. I serve the USAF and I'm stationed at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. I won't be able to leave the base until January, so I will have the car shipped to you at my expense because I benefit of various discounts.
I will pay the shipping fees and the insurance of the car.
All documents will be provided to you along with the car including the bill of sale under your name, title, service records ...
The reason I'm selling the car is of a personal nature and has nothing to do with the car at all.
I'm a serious seller and I prefer to deal only with a serious buyer that understands my situation.
The final price is $ 3523.
Please reply if you're interested and I'll get back with more details of the car, more pictures and the VIN.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
V/R

What do you have for an email address? See if you can get his .mil address and/or dsn # to confirm he is Air Force. Definitely looks fishy but if you say you got VIN/carfax take it further to prove it is a scam.

Not a real deal.
Their many on my local cl .
Even the dealers put prices like that too except when you contact them they say that's their down payment.
If he's wanting the money sent out of the US then definittly don't play with that guy.
How exactly is he wanting payment.
And trust me for 3500 he is not going to pay shipping and insurance that's just bs right there.
The cheapest I found a insured carrier that would transport a car from me from Boston to NC was 750 and the company also wanted a title from me in hand first they said.
I don't know how other carriers are and distance it would need to travel but,theirs a idea of shipping cost.
