Is this real

 I found this on the net. This guy is emailing me trying to sell me this car. According to him he’s out of the country and is using https://www.buffalosalesllc.com/how.php to handle the transaction.

The ad web site and the transaction company both seem sketchy to me.  Why not use eBay and Paypal?  Bigger audience, proven transaction company.  Why use a company in Buffalo, and sell the car in Sacramento?  Plus Peter Bateman is out of country?  

I wouldn't do it, myself.  It might be legitimate, but I'd need a lot more pictures of the typical rust areas to even consider it.  I'd assume the sale is "you get what you see".  There's a lot unseen, for that money.

Probably fake, can’t pay with cryptocurrencies? that’s interesting..
 

I feel like there was a thread similar to this a couple months back...

Yeah those pictures look familiar. I'm on my phone and can't do it but try a backwards image search on that last picture. Put the cursor on it then S and right click at the same time.

The ad copy looked familiar to me also.  I searched the first sentence and found several similar ads, even using the same odd capitalization.

Too funny. I just asked him if a friend can go inspect the car in NY.  He said due to covid, no.  But I can have a 7 day inspection period, with free return shipping.  He will ship it to California, with free return shipping.   What a dumb arse.

That's it Zed. Beverly Hills Motors had that car for sale.

Edit: Beverly Hills car club.

#00064 was dark green and they were asking $50K for it - it was in florida.  That First Green Z - the pictures were for a car sold in Bring-A-Trailer...

It's  got California plates on it in this ad.
