Hmm. I would be very suspicious of this. They do two of the things most fraudulent car sellers do: Ask for wire transfer, and offer to ship the vehicle. Are you paying for shipping? If not, and they say it's included... I would stay away. And most of all, if it seem to good to be true..... well, you know the rest.


Just my $0.02.

PS: the following is a direct copy/paste from CraigsList. Not that craigslist is a super reliable source... but if anyone knows something about fraudulent car sales... it's them:

How to recognize a vehicle scam attempt on CL:

Shipping a vehicle to you is suggested by seller
eBay Motors or another intermediary is specified by seller
Payment by Western Union or a money wire is requested
Price is unusually low (fraction of blue book value)
If you see these tell-tale signs, flag ad as "prohibited" and avoid

Offers to ship a vehicle are virtually 100% fraudulent

eBay has no involvment in craigslist for sale ads, and any eBay or similar emails or web pages you receive are fake

Never use Western Union or wire transfer to pay for goods - only a scammer will ask for this, and any funds sent will be lost

Do not buy vehicles sight-unseen, regardless of low price. The vehicle does not exist, and any money you send will be lost.

Stories about divorcees or departing servicemen needing to sell quickly at a low price are generally fraudulent

If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
