Oh and heres what I got in the email.
Fishy maybe??


Hi there.First of all i would kindly ask you to be serious about your inquiry as it is the 2nd time i am trying to sell my car andgot alot of time and money wasters.I also am letting you know that the car is still available, that it has a 100% CLEAN TITLE and is a beautiful car whichhas never been wrecked, flooded or anything else you can think of bad ( it is also a nonsmokers car).Quite a few potentialbuyers already contacted me, and you are among them, so we could settle the deal over ebay motors since something came upand I had to leave urgently for an undefined period of time. If this sounds OK with you, please get back at me and i willexplain how it works. Do not worry, all is legit and superfast and you will also get a 3 days inspection period for thecar. Another important thing as many requested it; i can not speak over the phone as i am deaf,could call you over aspecial relay center but i would be far more comprehensive in answering your questions via email. My name is Stephen and i am looking forward to close this deal withyou. Yes, i am confirming the price but i am not home and do not haveother pictures

The add seems halfway legit but that email definitely stinks...

The thing that gets me is the little piece under the front Bumper, I've never noticed that before on a SS.. I'm not saying that they didn't come with it, I've just never seen one.

Craigslist is the OWNER, of the scams like this. If you want to see scams just email 1/4 the cars on ur local craigslist. You'll get all kinds of wacky unbeleiveable replies.
