color me foolish, but ,what makes that a scam add, or were you being sarcastic?
i'm not up on Buick. is that a specialty car? i've heard of the T Type.
I would sport that around.
First of all, the car looks too nice for a $4500 price tag - second, there's no phone number in the ad and it's composed in ALL CAPS. All three of these points are red flags with regard to the authenticity of this ad. Go ahead, email the guy via craigslist - see what kinda response you get. I'd bet a dollar you get something like this:
"Thanks for your interest in my item. It is still for sale, however it is currently in storage in bum**** somewhere else and has been prepped for shipment. If you are interested in the item it can be arranged for a viewing, or you can simply wire transfer the money to my clearinghouse (they hold the money until after you receive the item and inspect it) and I will ship it to you. I look forward to doing business with you."
Edit: I also forgot to add these few notes: The ad is in the Los Angeles Craigslist (a literal hotbed of scam artists thrive here) AND the description couldn't be any more vague than if Helen Keller had composed it.
I emailed the guy, we'll see what happens.
