I’m in the market for a new car, so my stepmom sent me a listing on Craigslist (now removed) for a Honda Accord LX 2004 (or 2000?) for $5000, supposedly with a Salvage title.
\nHere’s the email exchange so far…<\/p>\n

\nI’m highly interested in your 2000 Honda Accord LX. I live in Marin
\nCounty, and would be able to drive down and pick it up. I am able to
\npay in full immediately.
\nIf this hasn’t already been claimed, would you like to schedule a time
\nfor me to come down and see the car?
\nI see it is a salvage title, what needs to be done to repair it?

\nalong with it.I am a US citizen. I moved to Sweden because i was sent here with
\nwork.The car is in a perfect condition.It’s a great car, I am devastated that I
\nhave to sell it but I have to pay too much money to register it here,so I

\ncondition, or does it need any parts replaced or repairs done?
\nIf I was to purchase the car for $5000 and it was shipped here – could
\nit be shipped to the San Francisco Bay Area?
\nAlso, why has your posting been removed by Craigslist community? Have
\nyou removed it yourself?
\nWould you be able to provide any extra images of the car?
\nThanks,
\nJeffrey<\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe car will be shipped with Lufthansa Air Cargo, and will be on your door in 5 max 6 days.
\nIf you want to continue,please send me your full name and your shipping address so I let Craigslist know that you are interested .You will receive an email from them instructing you about how to send payment and they’ll release the funds to me only after you receive and inspect the car.When i will have the Craigslist confirmation,i will ship the car to you.
\nI think that this is a fair way to make business and I hope that you will agree. I don’t touch your money until you receive and inspect the car.
\nHoping that I have kept your attention and your interest is still on, I look forward for any questions that you might have regarding the car.
\nRegards<\/font><\/p>\n

\ncar by this point.
\nAlso, is the car a 2000 or 2004 Honda Accord? The listing was not clear.
\nAlso, what was the “salvage” title about?
\nAlso, why was the Craigslist posting removed?
\nAlso, should I call you William or Marco?
\nAlso, it seems as if Craigslist cannot guarantee protection. According
\nto Craigslist:
\n1. Someone claims that craigslist will guarantee a transaction,
\ncertify a buyer\/seller, OR claims that craigslist will handle or
\nprovide protection for a payment
\nThese claims are fraudulent, as craigslist does not have any role in
\nany transaction.
\nScammer will often send an official looking email that appears to come
\nfrom craigslist, offering a guarantee, certifying a seller, providing
\npayment services — all such emails are fakes!
