craigslist ad shenanigans
-
This one is nicely done up and well thought out given the accuracy on the rarity of the items.
Two red flags:
- No licence plates
- States it is an auto, but appears to be a manual in the pictures
...Otherwise, it could be a legitimate ad
Shenanigans? I think so, but it shows how scammers are getting better in their ads.

BTW, I'm showing this because this is the exact car my mother is currently looking for. Automatic Samba Green Del Sol, and they are impossible to find.

looks real to me....why not just email them and see if its real? ask for more pics and a phone number to contact them. If they cant provide either its fake, if they can its probably real.

Ok, I gotta get this off my chest, it has been bothering me in pretty much every CL thread posted. Why don't people copy/paste the text and pictures in the thread they post? A lot of times supposed win/fail ads are flagged/deleted before a lot of people on here can get a chance to check it out, this one included. Pretty much making this a pointless thread. Just my .02, I had to say it.

Hey newbs, click refresh. Craigslist ads are stuck in your browser cache. I can view ads months later from my favorites if I don't refresh.
