inquired about a landcruiser and this is what i got

fawkin scam

Hy

I am very glad that you are interested in purchasing my car. First of all I must inform you that currently I'm in Marseille, France and I have to let you know that the TOYOTA LANDCRUISER car is here with me and it is in a perfect condition. If you are really interested we can work out something... I can ship out the car to you or something like that. What do you say?

Now, to tell you something about the car. The car is still for sale and the price is $22.000. It's condition is outstanding and most important I have a clear title which you will receive it with the car. It can be registered into your name, so stay cool about this. The odometer shows 10888 miles. Here are the car full specs:

2003 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER

Miles: 10888
VIN Number: JTEHT05J832048572
Body Style: 4 DR. WAGON/SPORT UTILITY
Engine: 4.7L V8 FI DOHC 32V
Fuel: GASOLINE
Driveline: 4 WHEEL DRIVE
Transmission: Automatic
Exterior: Silver
Interior: Gray
Title: Clear

Details:

Virtually new 2003 Land Cruiser with approximately 10,888 miles. Thunder Cloud Metallic with Gray Leather interior. Perfect showroom condition. Flawless. Complete with all available options FE (50-state emissions), AW (18" aluminum wheels with P275/60R18 tires), NV (navigation system, dvd/cd auto changer, auto-dimming rear view mirror, premium amfm/cassette/6-disc DVD/CD-changer), RR roof rack and running boards), GY (curtain and side airbags), C7 (carpeted floor mats with cargo mat, cargo net, rear wind deflector, alloy wheel locks, glass breakage sensor), 9E(rear seat DVD entertainment system), DH (receiver hitch with wiring harness), SD (sunroof wind deflector) and HP (hood protector).


Also, for my security, I will not send through e-mail or fax any kind of copy of the title or other paper from the car. You will receive all papers once with the car.

The car is a state of the art TOYOTA and works and looks perfectly I think it would get to this. The car is US street legal, does not need any conversion and it meets all DOT and EPA regulations. It has a miles odometer, etc. The car is as new, with no scratches and it was never involved in an accident. You can check the VIN (JTEHT05J832048572) on www.CarFax.com The paint looks just as new, the car was always garaged.

When I brought the car here, I tried to register it, but when I found that the import and register taxes are very high. I was very dissapointed, because I love this car and now I am forced to sell it. I can't sell it here in France or in Europe, because it is US street legal. You can see this, if you will check the VIN. The car was registered in US before. This is the reason that I want to sell the car in USA because european people do not like it prepared this way. The other offers that I have are also from the US.

Waiting for your reply!

Cheers and god bless you

You'd think this scam would end already...

Do you think anyone has gone for it?
