Donald, offer to fly out with the cash to pick it up. You will save
more by doing that than having it shipped unless you like first class
fares out of Wichita. If it is a scam, you will not hear much from
the seller, unless he is nigerian

Pretty standard scam, while ago there was CLK (or something like that)
going cheap. The story was very similar to yours, except here the seller
had shipped it to Germany and surprise surprise could not get a RHD
vehicle registered there without spending big dollars, so he was selling
it on Oz e

As a previous lister suggested, when I have seen
offers like this, I would tell them that I know
someone in the area and would like to set up an
inspection.
You'll get an idea of how legit the sale is depending
on the response (or lack thereof.)

The period instead of comma as a thousands separator in the price is
another clue that the writer is probably not a U.S. native (though if
there were no other red flags that alone could probably be written off
