I ran across a similar scam for a 98 911 Turbo - a $40k-$50K car that he was
willing to sell for $12K. He said the car was in Italy and if I would commit
to buy and put a small deposit up ($1500 IIRC) he ship it to the airport
nearest me. I asked for details and it seemed the car was at a shipping
location and he could not access it - but he assured m it would be easy to
inspect/reject one it arrived at my local airport.
I have a "email friend" in UK who offered to go to Italy and inspect the
car - if as advertised he tell me and I'd send the money and my friend would
drive it back to UK for me to ship back.
Never heard from the seller after that...

Subject: [MBZ] CL Scam?
Yes, this is a scam. I found one for a Jeep Cherokee. Jeep was in WI and his
response to my email was the same...deploying back to Af and needed to sell
by Dec. 05. This was a CL in Atlanta. I searched and also found it in Dallas
and LA. In Dallas, he was a childless couple with 12 cars and needed to
reduce his collection. In all cases, he was selling a $12,000 Jeep for
$2700. Very appealing right? I know CL is big, but just like eBay, when it
looks funny, it usually is. Run don't walk from these offers. They play on
the hard economic times and poor soldier being redeployed tactics. These
people should be publicly punished.
