February 17, 20178 yr comment_513140 It's fake. There was a similar ad posted for Rockford a week or so ago. They then raised price to $15k saying they underestimated value. I'm not sure why they would post a fresh ad asking for $4k again if it was really Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57085-too-good-to-be-true/#findComment-513140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 17, 20178 yr comment_513154 Definitely a scam. This same ad was recently posted in the Lancaster PA CL and just pulled for fraud. The poster claims to be a female military officer in Hawaii with the car stored in the US at a base.

February 17, 20178 yr comment_513157 I think the scam on the CL ads is getting good email address to sell thousand's to some company for spam. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57085-too-good-to-be-true/#findComment-513157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a temporary email for the 240 I recently sold. I went to pay the cable/internet bill afterwords and had 42 emails from resort rental web site. It is now nonexistent.

February 17, 20178 yr comment_513182 Sounds a lot like this one from late Nov. but with a new car for bait. I am a LT of USAF and I was transferred to Hickam AFB in HI for a 5 years period and because they cant ship all my cars here i am asking only $4,000 for this one. My Datsun is garaged at the Logistic Department at Fairchild AFB ready to go. No rust, garage kept,no accidents,clear title under my name. The shipping will be free for you because I will transport the car using a military trailer. The financial part will be managed by eBay Motors, which means you will have a 5 days inspection period BEFORE committing to buy my car. In this way we are covered during the steps of this transaction.Pics : http://s36.photobucket.com/user/reDatsun240z/library/ Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57085-too-good-to-be-true/#findComment-513182 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make any sense. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/57085-too-good-to-be-true/#findComment-513200 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make any sense. True enough, eBay Motors does not conduct business outside of an eBay transaction. I told her to have the car delivered and I would pay cash. No response. I suppose the scam works sometimes, or else why would they keep posting these ads? CL = deal in person / eBay = deal within eBay.
