You will find these kind of things from time to time searching yahoo autos, autoweb, vehix, etc. They are scams. This guy is probably is a foreign country and you will get ripped off if you buy it. There is no way in hell someone would sell an "02 M3 even with 125k miles on it for 9grand unless it is a salvage vehicle.

He sends you a chasiers check through a third party. You cash check, send him the balance. By the time the bank finds out it's a scam, your left paying the bill back to the bank. look on craig's list, they will tell you all about this scam. My friend was selling an old pathfinder for $2000, a scammer tried to offer him $9,000 in cashier check.

A google search on the vin brings up this:

http://www.eurobid.com/console.cfm?i...1014001&cat=FA

You can find some deals on craigslist, but if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is...

I been debating contacting a craigslist seller on a $3500 porsche 911 (it's a 78 w/ rear end damage)....

There are a bunch of listings like this on Craigslist, like an '04 Evolution for $4k. The best thing to do is just ignore it, it's just a huge scam. My sister's fiance was telling me about this the other day. I actually saw the exact M3 the other day and commented about it and he told me about how they scam.

Subject : Re: M3

Hello,
My name is Michael Davis.
Please excuse me for this late reply.
The BMW is in perfect mechanical, physical and electrical condition. It looks great and it has great handle. This car runs awesome and is quite quick. I have to sell the car because I have to pay to much money for register it here.
My company have relations in States and I worked there for 2 years. I buyed the car from there and I bring it with me home. The car is made for US, so is US standards. This is an impediment for me to sell it here because, first, we have a different standards and second will be very expensive for me to register it here. I have to pay a very expensive duty taxes.

The price is $9000 I drooped from $13,000.
What other info. would you like on it?
It will be shipped from London, UK and I will pay the shipping and insurance charges. I will do the arrangements for shipping from here. The title is clear. All the papers + keys will come with the car. The payment will be done via secure pay which means that the third party will keep the money until you receive and inspect the car.
I will wait for your email to let me know if you are interested in knowing more details
about the purchase.
Thanks!
