    haha, you should go check it out!
    How is a scam like that supposed to work anyway? If there's not actually a car, how can anyone pay the money for it? And who'd be stupid enough to pay in advance before even having seen it?

    I'M IN A BUSINESS TRIP AND I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO MY WORK EMAIL. PLEASE EMAIL ME ONLY HERE: [email protected]
    If they don't want to use autotrader's email service its probably a scam.

    BTW, I am the user formerly known as Turbo.Jenkens. Did I get banned? I know its against the rules to have 2 accounts but this is the only way I know to ask. About a week ago my login info got reset, I've tried the "email new password" at least a dozen times to no avail.

    No, you are not banned... try contacting Wouter by PM.

    I smell tomfoolery.

    They all follow the same plot lines - great car, contact me only on ...email address...

    There's never a phone number.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
