Does this make since to you guys? I found it on yahoo and I just inquired the price and he sent me this:

Hi there,

I'm located in London,United Kingdom and the car is here with me. I've just
moved here and I need a new car (UK car). I have to sell it in UK because
doesen't worth to register the car here (I need a RHD car and this is a US
and LHD car).The car is like new, completely working,low miles, with 3 years
EXTENDED, INTERNATIONAL and TRANSFERABLE warranty, which will be honored at
any dealer in your country. It is US model with US specs and passed the US
test emissions. All the manuals and the original documentation are written
in eight languages,no damages, never been in accidents.

Since this is an over seas purchase and in order for both parts to be safe
we will use a third party, Square Trade, to make this deal. I will support
the Square Trade fees. From the moment that you will decide that you want to
move ahead with the transactoin I will open a transaction record at square
trade and the will get in touch with you. They will work as a third party
and they will make excchange between us. If you don't want to keep the car,
just inform Square Trade and they will send you the money back as soon as
you send the car back to me (this is not the case, as the car is as
described, in perfect condition). In case you don't receive the car (this is
not the case to) Square Trade will refund you the money, 100%. Square Trade
won't give me the money until they have your word that you have received the
car and you want to keep it. You will have 5 days to test the car.

I will manage the shipping of the car at no cost for you. You will pay only
the price of the car, 9,000.00 + the money transfer fess to square trade.

In order to move ahead with this transaction I will be needing your full
name and the shipping address where you want the car shipped so I can open a
new transaction record at square trade and get them in touch with you.
They will provide you all the details on how to proceed with payment.


Thank you for your time
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,




Are you sure this is only 9000 dollars or is that a misprint? Thanks

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
