she is nicole gertsen..... but did her name backwards like if it was a legal doc..... minus the , mark


like all have said.... if you have the cash offer to come and buy it.... even if you get there and it isn't "great" you could turn around and resell for 2 grand or part for however much you want

Get a phone number and talk in person. If they're not willing to talk to you over the phone, I wouldn't bother

I'd love a scam and cheese sandwich right about now.

Edit: The CL ad...

"There are a few dents and a crack on the lower wind shield."

Her email response...

"The car is in perfect condition , with no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks whatsoever, never been involved in any accidents ."

...Oh.

well if you think about it. her son has been in iraq for probably some time and whats the point of keeping it on the road and pay for insurance and the other things if its not going to be driven.

But its a great price and from the look of the houses around the pictures it doesnt look like she needs the money.

Forget it, everyone. It IS a scam. Check this out (her reply email):

Hello again,
I`m located in Great Falls,MT (the car is here with me) right now because i got a new job here,the thing is i`m very busy and i don`t have time to stay and meet with all my potential buyers, that is why i gave to a shipping company that will ship it to the next owner(on my cost). I will make the deal only to eBay. I am a member of the eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 10 days testing period after delivery. During that 10 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested in buying it so I can ask eBay to send you the details on how this works. If interested please include in your next email your contact info for eBay ( full name, full address ) so we can get things started.

Thanks and have a great day !


Yeap! Not doing that! Anyway It was nice to think about a super cheap A4 for a while. And I flagged ar CL post as if thats going to do much. Oh well.

WISE MAN SAYS:

"If something sound to good to be true, it usually is"

Smells like a scammer to me.
