Anything that seems to good to be true - IS. It's a scam.

I'd email anyway. What have you got to lose? If you can't go see him and view the vehicle in person then you know its a scam.

That EXACT truck was for sale in the Washington DC craigslist earlier today. I guess it's been flagged. They used the same pictures from the DC ad

It's probably just someone gathering email lists to sell.

That would be my guess as well. I see those kind of "deals" on our local CL sometimes.

Wtf?

{retelling of the Odyssey is R L Fanthorpe's novel Negative Minus, in which all the names are spelled backwards (for example "Suessydo", "Ecric" and "Acahti")}
