First one is a disgrace. Second one has to be a scam.

Search for "Alaska" on this page and you can see all the variations on this one:

The photos (palm trees, etc.) and other license plates look like SoCal, LOL.

A young co-worker of mine almost fell for one of these things a while back. He was going to buy an old 300Z TT sight unseen at a bargain basement price. He was explaining to me that he couldn't go look at it because it was already loaded on a car hauler..........

[m3f_white-hot]

Isn't that car from a FS post on BF.c? It looks very familiar for some reason.



Love that first one though. "Custom Wheels" is guess means some cheap shiet garbage wheels purchased from some wheel place that don't fit or look worth a damn.

[m3f_ed007]

I just love that second one with the "I am a sergeant" spin to make in sound credible. After all, he is a decent military man. Ask him if he can ship the car door to door before you send payment. These scammers never get tired and always come up with new spins on the stories. When did they start growing palms in Alaska?

[m3f_KWorker17]

Tell him you're a Nigerian Prince and you have an SLS that your willing to trade with him.

Here is one more!

An E46 M3 sedan! What a find!

[m3f_djjvr]

Oh man those are bad... Next to the scams I also love how just about every car with a salvage title on CL has it from "theft recovery". Though I have found a few nice things on that site.

The second one is listed in Chicago, too... http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/ctd/3209307405.html
