Dear CDs,

I saw an ad on craigslist for the above vehicle and out of curiosity emailed the seller to give me further details and arrange an inspection. I expected it to be a salvadged/accident/ rebuilt vehicle from US etc...but see the reply I got from the seller :

quote:

I hope you are serious in your intention for buying, don`t take it personally, but I had many problems with fake buyers in the past. So if you decide on buying the car, I want the deal closed only through eBay`s Safe Purchase program. You will make the payment to eBay and they will hold the money until you receive the car. After you receive the car and you inspect it, the money will be released to me, in this way we are both protected. Anyway, the car is available and I guess you could be its new owner if everything turns out all right and, again, you are serious about buying. I am located in Madrid, Spain. I moved here a few months ago, brought the car with me, but unfortunatelly I am not able to register it here, as it has US specs and emission stanards, non compliant with European regulations. My final price on it is 6300 $$. If you will take this price, I am willing to pay for shipping and insurance to your location. Please get back to me A.S.A.P. if you decide to buy, and include in your e-mail your full name and address so I can start the deal with eBay. You will receive all the transaction details from them.

This is a scam and please anyone else dealing with similar situations, be extra cautious. I have confirmed from ebay, they do not have any such payment handling services.
