Looks okay to me. Times are tough and call for drastic matters.

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.

I wish that was real. I would have me a new truck sitting in the driveway.

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")}
