Typo or deal of the century?

[Joe 1320]

salvage title would be the only reason a vette price could be that low. but either wya, a 01 vert for 5500 how can u loose really?

Two ways....... either stolen, or send me the money and you'll never see me or the car again.

Spot on. The latter, unfortunately, is all too common. Good call, Joe.

I could be wrong but if you look at were the seller is located in sugarland TX and you look at the pics I dont think tree's in TX loose there leaves in the winter . I could be wrong but could someone back me up on that one?

ROTFLMAO! Yes, the trees lose their leaves in the winter just like anywhere else.

Even a salvage titled Corvette only sells for 3-5 thousand dollars less than the fair market value.

I sent an email to the seller as well.

[Need4Speed]

I'd buy it in a heart beat.

I just wasnt sure about winter down there. it being always hot down there and all.

I'd always wondered about the trees in places like Texas, Arizona, and California. I always figured they lost their leaves but was never sure. I bet they aren't bare for 6 months like they are around here, though!

I sent an email to the seller as well.

It's either sold or the seller is not motivated. He/she did not return my phone call. That's a fantastic way to turn me off to doing business with you...

I'm sure they've probably been inundated with calls and email. Probably took the phone off the hook!

I'm sure it will be a while until the Auto Trader ad is pulled as well. I bought my car by finding it through Auto Trader back in early April. They didn't pull the ad until the first week of June.

[FroSSty]

HAHAHA....That pic was taken when they bought it... It is now a burnt up pile of nothing but you wont know that til you go to pick it up. hehe

Of course that woman over in Europe sold her husbands Lotus for like what 50 cents??? So ya never know.

[TraceZ]

I'm buying it!

Here is the letter from the seller:

Thank you!

I love these foreign ripoff scams.

here was my reply:

Thanks for the quick reply.
We have a deal. I get to pick the escrow company of my choice to facilitate the financial transaction. It will be a major financial institution well known and safe for both of us.

Agree? If yes, I will make arrangements quickly and get a copy of my address to you for shipping.

You should report him to Auto Trader. Somehow I don't think you'll get a corvette from this guy!

Seller location is listed as Sugarland, TX...Funny!!

I know the deal won't happen, but we'll see how far he takes it until he is discovered as a fraud. I'm willing to give the cash to a escrow service, as long as I get to choose the company. When the car doesnt show up, I'll simply get my money back and report him for fraud.
