I was browsing through Craigslist while i was working REALLY hard today and stumbled on this car. Any one else a little suspicious at the price?

lol u gotta be kidding...this has to be too good to be true

 

Nah... looks like a deal go for it.

woot427... What part of Philly u from?

 

That has to be a misprint! There's no way that's being sold for $2,900.

 

if its real it woulda been gone by now its been 3 days

 

29k

 

12k?

 

LOL..if its true i would have a 2 TL garage and my wife would be happy..im gonna email them and ask

 

print it out (for proof), offer that much, and then if he doesn't fulfill his end of the bargain, u sue him....thats the american way, isnt it?

 

false advertising lol

 

exactly.

 

Emailed him asking if the TL was still available for $2900. I am eagerly awaiting his reply

 

This is the reply from the lady selling it:

Hello and thank you for question,

The Acura TL with only 52,850 miles is in great shape, no engine problems, damages or hidden defects. It was always garaged and never kept outside. I`m a single mother with 2 children because I divorced with my husband and after the divorce I own this car, I don`t need it and that`s why I`m selling it so cheap. The price for the car is $2900 with shipping included. We will use eBay`s protection program for our safety. I just need your full name and address so i can open a case.(with no further obligation or fees).

Thanks,
Maria

oh well..i was just told by my coworker that because of the "with shipping" its a scam...which is where I was kinda leaning to anyways

 

holy shit

 

yep, damn scammers, straight from craigslist

5. distant seller suggests use of an online escrow service.

• most online escrow sites are FRAUDULENT, operated by scammers
• for more info, do a google search on "fake escrow" or "escrow fraud"

"she" said something about using Ebays protection program or whatever... damn scammer

 

I saw one of those on a NSX for $6,800. Exact same wording about a wife being divorced and left her the car. Scam all the way.

 

did you really have to ask. Now you'll be receiving all sorts of spam and calls about car warranties etc.

 

Actually I'm not too worried as I used my work email account

 

No, that is NOT the way it works. The way it works is that he gets your $2,900 and you get a fake address and little else. In the end, only the fool is parted with his money.

 

wow..........It was a scam? I had NO idea

 

buy it

 

lol typical scam on craigslist. Few months back I found a car with a great price and got a very similar e-mail, I told the lady my dad was a detective in the area (it was posted in Tampa) and that he would come look at it...yup, never received another e-mail frfom them lol

 

No its real.. you gotta pick up the car from Nigeria though.

 

^^ And then when you get there, you'll win the Nigerian lottery as well

 

The dude is going claim he's on a business trip in the UK blah blah blah. Those ads are flooded everyday on CL in the bay area. They just want to steal your email address for spam.

 

lol there's a lot of scam on craiglist. there is just no way for a TL to be that cheap. even if there are, they are probably with a salvage title.

 

I don't recall Las Vegas having such beautiful foliage.

 

lol..

 

Scam! Criagslist is full of stuff like this.

 

+1

I see these all the time. Basically you will e-mail back and forth and when the time comes you are going to be asked to pay via PayPal or something similar and the car will need to be shipped to you yada yada yada. I'm in SE Mass and was looking at an MDX in Westchester, NY (roughly three hours away). I couldn't see the car because it was already ready for shipping and they had it in a container. Supposedly the seller was overseas and there was absolutely no way I could pick it up myself. blah, blah, blah.

 

Run Forrest. Run

 

 

my 16 year old neighbor fell for this exact same one...lol...I had just gotten my TL and he was so proud to come over and tell me that his mom might buy it for him! don't give any information to these asholes.
