looks good... but if you want YOUR scam to work, maybe you should lower the price a bit to get more fishes. giggle.gif

Car looks great - Good luck with the sale!

Although la Boofy is prolly right
Here you go anyway
If you're interested or know anyone that is...

Civic is an ' 03, LX "Sport" (top of the line Civic) Automatic, Factory spoiler, Factory sunroof, "sport" rims and "sport" gauges package

Power everything, Heated mirrors, tinted windows, cruise control, A/C,
96+K's. Lady driven, ALWAYS dealer serviced and maintained on factory suggested maintenance schedule, since day one, right down to lubing the door hinges, on factory schedule!! Shampooed yearly. All original paint, never ever in an accident. Honda hood deflector. New brakes all around, New windshield. Car's been dealer certified (now expired but will redo for buyer) and dealer E-tested. Have all dealer records since new
Runs like brand new.
I'm asking $14.800 OBO,and since it's a private sale there's no GST (that's almost a grand)

Ummm... last night I replied to her saying this:

Hello
Thanks for your interest. yadda yadda...
I will be completely honest with you regarding dealing at long distance
I'm not completely comfortable with it and frankly would like to deal with someone locally, that can view the car and pay me in person, therefore -and I hope you undestand- I will only do this transaction if it's strictly under MY terms
If you are truly interested in the vehicle I will not release the vehicle or make any ownership transfer until all the funds are cleared and the cheque to be found legitimate. However long that takes (I might actually prefer a diferent method than a certified cheque. I will consult with my bank for the best method) yadda yadda...And am not willling negotiate those terms
I'm also not comfortable giving you my personal information yet, and until I know that you accept these terms. If you do so, please let me know, and I will proceed accordingly
Many thanks"

To which she said:

"Thanks for the reply,I am okay with the conditions you have stated as soon as you get hold of the pics,please kindly get it sent to me.
Hope to read from you today."

Y ahora??? weirdface.gif

Now you ask her to call you and tell you how many fingers you're holding up to see if she's lying about her disability or not.

Then you would take a whole lotta umbrage if you knew what umbrage meant, would you? wink I just learned that word from MM. People say you must try to use all any new word in a sentence so it sticks. I think this should have done the trick for me. Yup, like crazy glue! Speaking of which, next time you get crazy glue on your fingers, just rub some spit on them, works like a charm! aww

Heeeey???!!! I take umbrage (wait... how do you spell that? confuse.gif Oh, it was right... naturally aww ) So yeah, as I was saying: WTF, man! I take umbrage at your comment!

Oh, and I didn't read the whole initial post. It was too long. I need a summary.




No not la caja, otro carro (that sounds so weird)
AutoTrader is about $90 (which I've tried already a few weeks back). Kijiji, free



CAN YOU POST A PICTURE OF THE CAR HERE AND THE DETAILS!!

 



Why would you take a chance - didn't you read the fact that THIS COULD BE A SCAM??? no.gifno.gifno.gif

Actually Kijiji is a great place to sell stuff i use that or craigslist(love it) and you just have to weed out the scammers thats all and im sure ur smart enough to know its a scam! plus you post up an email that doesnt exactly show urs its just linked to it! So dogo keep adverstising on there trust me you will sell it but try craigslist its less hassle and easier to use i think

Well of course it screams "scam" and I wouldn't release or transfer the car unless it's paid in full (which is what I replied to her message)
I guess more than anything.. I wonder how this scam works, if they are paying, or offering to pay, upfront confuse.gif



Here's an idear: sell it, then we'll know and won't have to live with the doubt the rest of our lives. wink

I sent her a bit more info on the car, yadda yadda, and I got this message (see bellow) Exhibit C: The "more info" is in fact a whole bunch of yadda, yadda, yadda. Actually, not even that! Just yadda, yadda.

Ok, I need clarification for the following
:

"Not only does it sound a bit "off" but in the last couple of weeks -also when SEARCHING for a car- I found at least five scams on too-good-to-be-true ads
 In most cases the cars were advertised in Toronto but when I've contacted them the car is somewhere in who-knows-where because they were just relocated, blah blah blah"


above.gif Dogo, did you get that response from the potential buyer?

Now this person wants to buy my car from California weirdface.gif as if there are no cars like it (it's a Civic) in Cali hmm.gif
Scam or not? how "safe" are certified cheques, really?
I say "scam"

  "Thanks for your reply,

Also I will be solely responsible for the shipping of the vehicle,the pick up will be made form your place and convey to California.
Please if you seems this is okay with you,I will like you to kindly email me back with your full contact informations and phone number,but i will only call you from my internent Ldd service.If you send me the infos you get the certified check in 2 to 3 working days
Hope to read from you today"
 



Ok, seriously now, yes, Dogo, it's a scam. You know how I know you're gay? Hehehe

Seriously, first of all, if that message that I asked you about was coming from her, that seems rather fishy to me. Why does this person tell you about this? I think that it's to defer attention from herself where then you're the one trying to prove that YOU'RE legit and not the other way around. And the deaf story? C'mon! She's too deaf to be able to complete the transaction with you but not too deaf to do it on behalf of a client? Tell her to get a translator. I also don't like the fact that she emphasizes her inability to come and view the vehicle. I mean, hello, why would you even consider buying a car that is THAT far.




Well of course it screams "scam" and I wouldn't release or transfer the car unless it's paid in full (which is what I replied to her message)
