Default scam on craigslist

Scammers are so retarded. If he started at a decent price, at least he'd look more legit.

And come up with better excuses as to why you're out of the country and are trying to unload your ride. How about, "I was trying to smuggle this brick of heroine with one of my mules and I'll die in Thailand without ******* a tranny if I don't cough up the cash for a lawyer." I'd give him points for originality.
