"I'm glad that you're interested in my car.The car is in good condition, has no technical damages at all, no scratches or dents,no hidden defects.The car has been looked after very well - washed and cleaned every two weeks. The bodywork is regularly waxed and polished. The interior is in virtually spotless condition. The seats are clean and not torn. The exterior is in excellent condition,tires are in good shape, brakes work well and the car provides very good fuel economy. The car is street legal and accurate. It comes with all the documents needed for registration, it has a clear title and it can be registered into your name at any time.I`m non smoker and the car looks like a new one.. There are no known problems with the car as far as I know.
The total price is $24,900 including shipping and delivery taxes to your address.
I AM SELLING UNDER THE MARKET'S VALUE BECAUSE I NEED LIQUIDITY IN ORDER TO FINISH THE HOUSE THAT I AM BUILDING.
If you are decided we are going to have a safe deal.
Please get back to me to explain you more.
I`m waiting for your reply as soon as possible.
Thank you! "

Thanks for your fast answer.This car is in great condition,the title is clear and all you have to do is to put your name on it. I like to mentioned that i am now located with my work in Las vegas,NV and i have the car here with me.I work as a pilot for US Airways and i don't have time to sell my car. I can deliver the car to your shipping address and I will agree to let you test it and inspect it for a few days just to be sure. I am going to use a shipping company for delivering it and I will pay the shipping and insurance fees. I want to use this company because I have a very busy schedule and travel allot so there is no time. It should take about 3-4 days for you to get the car.The car is already in their possesion and they are only waiting for my instructions to begin shipment.
They offer third party services. In this way both of us will have the required assurance that the deal will take place well. I understand that dealing through a third party company means a neutral company that verifies if the vehicle corresponds to what me and you can pay for the car after you will receive, drive, test and confirm that you want to keep the car. They allow 5 days inspection period after the car will be delivered to you. The shipping company's agent told me that the first step is for you to send me your full name, shipping address and phone #. Then you will receive a complete list with instructions.
I`m waiting for your reply as soon as possible.
Thank you!

Hans...

I Googled the phone number and came up with this..

Stuart Fearer (954) 739-3663 4809 NW 49th Rd, Tamarac, FL 33319

Stuart Fearer, SRA

Owner, ElectronicAppraisals

Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area

Nothing related came up on "Bunny Fearer".

The "third party" bit sounds like the ol Nigerian scam...again...

Cheers!

Got an answer back from Cars.com! They investigated and determined the post to be a fraud, they pulled the ad.=D>

Did I mention I emailed the guy back and said I was surprised to hear the car was in Las Vegas and that I though I would find it in Nigeria!

Never heard from him again. :sign10:
