This smells like scam...

On autotrader there is a goodlooking FD for less than 3 grand... got this email.
Ugh...


Hello, and thank you for showing interest in my 1993 Mazda RX-7 Touring.

The general condition of the car is excellent, very well maintained, no damages, no mechanical problems and no electrical issues. It has a clear title free of any liens or loans and free of accidents. The car has 60,048 kilometers and the final price is $2890.

You will receive the car for inspection along with all the documents( the title, owner's manual, 2 sets of keys, service records, and of course the bill of sale notarized and signed by me). Because of my divorce settlement, I own this car and as a woman without driver's license I don't need it so I'm trying to get rid of it as soon as possible. Also about payment and shipping I will use only eBay vehicle purchase protection so we can both be protected.

If you're interested to purchase just email me with your full name, full address and phone number so I can notify eBay that you are selected as my buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

Thank you

Sadly there's 4 of them up there, and all scams. I reported the white one to autotader ( it's VIN is for sale in a few countries ) but I guess it really doesn't concern them
