This guy just pulled up to my girlfriends driveway and asked if I wanted to sell the trans am. I said no, not for sale. He says, I'll tell you what, I'll give you $10,000 for it right now. Holy crap, 10k.

I tell him its got a **** load of miles 145k to be close and he says its ok, if hes got to put a motor in it, its all good.

He keeps telling me how his sister took his without his permission and wrecked it and he's been looking for one exactly like mine for a long time.

This is 10,000 dollars guys. This car is worth about half that on a good day.

Mods are full suspension, smog cam, ls6 intake, PP 241 heads, ls2 clutch, and other miscellaneous things...

I got his contact info and everything...

What would you guys do? Ive only had the car for a few months...

only take cash and have him meet you at the bank with it. Otherwise it sounds like a bad check scam.

He said cash. No bs is what he kept telling me. The weird part was he asked for me by name and I have never seen the guy before in my life...

Money Orders are no better than a check. Buddy of mine got one, turns out the issuing currency exchange took a check from the guy to issue it (they are supposed to only take cash, but they did it anyway as he was friends with the clerk). When his check turned up bad, they refused payment on the money order. The law (in Illinois anyway) is that they do not have to make good on a MO if it was fraudulently obtained (like writing a bad check for one). My buddy went after the CE, but found that they were protected and had to sue the guy who wrote the bad check. (again, that is why they required a MO from him in the first place as they got tired of suing him for payment.)

Yeah I paid $10k for mine with 89k miles a few months ago. Just sell yours and get a cheap one with with the same miles or a nicer low mile car. That's a good bit of mod money also. I love mine but if someone offered me like $12,000 I would probably take it.

WOAH. thats weird and Screams scam to me.

How the hell???

I would be VERY cautious about this, that is very strange dude. Only accept cash, on your property/terms/bank -- PERIOD.

But ya.. if someone offered me even 2-3k more than my car is worth/ what I have into it (say I got a 15k offer), i'd sell no doubt.

Well, I live in a very small town and my car doesn't exactly blend in with the crowd around here so it could be possible he just asked who owned the car and thats how he got my name.

Any logical reason why I shouldn't go for this deal? Other than the obvious scam factor?

Im only gonna take cash at my bank.

...make sure the money is real too. Monopoly cash don't count for much when bill's need paying.

How fast can you demod it? It's only really worth it if you aren't planning to just turn around and build the same thing all over again (although you could come out with slightly less mileage I guess).
