i guarantee you if you send them an email you will get a response back about how "i work at another state, so if not you then my broker will rearrange a through sale of the said automobile and all deliever will be paid for by me I can asure you it is a stunning vehicle so just give me your info and we can continue,, btw the vehicle is in a safekeeping wharehouse until the transaction is completed and it will be delivered to you,,,"

shall i continue or have you read a similar message, cuz i know i have. it used to be that the fraudulent ones were drastically under-priced but it seems the criminals have gotten smarter and priced the vehicles just a few grand below the actual blue book in order to disguise their ad in with some of the others.

i could be wrong but in searching for a new-er vehicle for my wife in the last 3 months i have received about 4 of these types of solicitations all from slightly cheaper ads than the rest of the pack.

I haven't looked up the VIN b/c I don't have a carfax account. But I would expect "noise" on the vehicle history.

Looks too good to be true. The best LS460 price I saw was $37K for an 07 with about 40K miles and accident records in carfax.

You are all on spot! Too good to be true.
I checked the VIN for service records and it doesn't match with this car so I am not sure. Car with advertised VIN has 40K miles and it is mercury silver.

Anyways, I am going to wait couple years when I can get a low mileage one between $20-25K.
