More than likely it's probably another scam, but email the guy if you're really interested. Ask for his phone number right away. I've ran into stuff like this in the past, but they always try to work around the phone number.

IMO, that car is far too clean and low miles for that price.

So here is the email reply that I got. F'n Scammers

Hi,

Thanks for being interested in buying my 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible.It is in great shape,no engine problems,damages or hidden defects.It was always garaged and never smoked in.The only thing because i am selling it so low is because of my recent divorce.The mileage is 16261 and the price is $8,200.We will use eBay`s protection program for our safety.I just need your full name and address so i can open a case .(with no further obligation or fees).

Thanks
Jack

Hello,
You made the right choice!My 1999 Pontiac Firebird Firehawk is in great shape, no engine problems,damages or hidden defects. It is in a good condition, no scratches,no damages,never been implicated in any accidents,no problems at the engine, runs very well. It has an V4 manual , 6,000 miles, clear title, a perfect car and the price is only $4,200 firm.. I`m a single mother with 2 children because i divorced with my husband and after the divorce i own this car,i don`t need it and that`s why i`m selling it so cheap. We will use eBay`s protection program for our safety. I just need your full name and address so i can open a case. (with no further obligation or fees).Have a nice day!

P.S : Please don't forget to send your full name and shipping address if you are interested to buy.

When I was looking for one of those for a buddy of mine we couldnt find one for under $22k. That was a llittle over a year ago but that is still easily a $18k-$20k car having low miles and being all original.

SCAM!
