She told me it has ~61,000 miles on it and reduce the price from 4100 to $3950. Now the other thing is she lives 9 hours away from me I don't know if its worth going to check it out. The other thing is I own a 2000 ES300 and If this is legit I'm willing to sell my car ASAP to grab this one.






She told me from the email that this is a clean car everything runs fine, the only reason she selling it this low is because she divorce her husband and got the car but don't need it since she doesn't have a driver license. She also wants to go through the "Ebay Auto Transaction" to be safe.




LOL! everytime a craigslist person writes this ""Ebay Auto Transaction" to be safe." it is always a scam...

Why do people ever fall for these things? I could tell it was a scam after the 2nd sentence and the price. Common sense, use it!

Another Nigerian Scams. You'll find them everywhere from ebay to autotrader.com. If the deal sounds too good to be true? Well you know the rest of its sayings. Be careful folks.
