What's wrong with this car?

[earthman]

If those miles are genuine something is wrong with the price, i.e. its a typo, or else it has 122k on it. I saw a 2004 F150 for sale locally. It had 200k on it, they were asking $4000.

You rock

Probably supposed to be a 1 on the front of the price.

Yes but sometimes not very well

I'd buy a 04 f-150 with 200k miles on it for $4k. Thats probably around 100k or less in wear given that its all highway miles and thats a hell of a lot of highway driving in 1 year.

Replay back that you will take the car unseen. You will have a freind bring a cashiers check for $10,000 if you could please give me $2K left over from the check and the title to the car that would be great.

roger. report it to the site admins. definitley a scam.

BTW: If that car has an "alarm," its not stock. the only antitheft mustangs have is a chipped key that costs 30$-35$ cut and you can program yourself, provided you already have a working key. otherwise, it's usually 30$ for the dealer to program for you. Definite scam. Ask about the "alarm"

OH SH!T!!! I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A MUSTANG WITH SIDE AIRBAGS???!?!?! am I missing something????

it's a Ford and it's Auto.


why would you get an auto tranny with a Mustang?

 

[KarenMarie]

here is my correspondence with the seller. start from the bottom.


Hello,

I sell the car at this low price because I need fast moeny for my son.
The car have the steering on the left side.
Please reply ASAP if you are ready to buy it.
Best regards.

Which side is the steering wheel on?

If it is on the left side of the car (the American way) you could get three times that price for the car. I found you listing on a board that I frequent and they were all wondering why the price was so low. I showed it to my b/f, and he thinks that you are selling it for 1/2 of what you could easily charge.

Although there is not a single surefire way to identify fraudulent
buyers, there are certain countries that have a higher incidence of
fraud and often have untraceable addresses. These include: Nigeria,
Romania, Macedonia, Belarus, Pakistan, Russia, Lithuania, Egypt,
Colombia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. You may want to decline to sell to
buyers in these countries, even if the buyer offers to use a
U.S. cashier's check. If you are at all suspicious, it's a good idea
to do some research. Learn More

The convertables usually come with auto... I hate to sound sexist, but I've never seen a guy with a convertable mustang.... it's always young highschool and college girls and they, again at the risk of sounding sexist, don't usually have the same desire to have a stick that most guys would have.

I havew a V6 auto instead of a V8 stick because the deal was good and only after I bought it did I realized what I missed out on.

:shocked:

KarenMarie:
Only 2 countries in the world have mustang plants. Australia makes them right drive and the US makes them left. If you send him money, you will have almost no recourse across international lines to get your money back if he doesent ship it to you. ALSO: If he had the money to import it (again, you cant buy one of those in the UK), he got hit for duties, all of the gas guzzling UK penalities, not to mention 2.5GBP/Litre... do the math... that on a car that was thirty thousandish to begin with... he just bought a 40 thousand dollar car.... none of this adds up, you are MUCH better off buying a car that has been in the US the whole time. I really don't reccomend this... and all of the details sound waaaay too fishy....

 

[KarenMarie]

Hi acemcmac,

I haveno intention on buying the car. Good Lord, if I did I would actually have to be careful while driving.. as it is so nice.

I was just curious as to what the guys's story was. I lived in England for 8yrs. and have a pretty good idea on what it took for him to get that there, and what it will take to get it out. His second email... whew.. run a mile!!


edit: I wonder if he would ship first?
LOL
