    Not sure if this is legit or not

    So i was browsing around CL and I find a post for an 06 impreza STI for 4.5k in "perfect condition". I emailed the seller and they replied saying the car was in Alaska but she would ship it for free (to miami, fl). Now I just don't know if this is legit or not lol. It really sounds sketch. I ran the vin through carfax and it's clean. Any suggestions?


    This is the email she sent me:
    Hi,
    > I am selling this car because of my disability, being deaf and not able to drive it. It belonged to my husband, who passed away not long ago.The price is low because I need to sell it before Feb 20. The car is in perfect condition, as I had a mechanic look over it before placing the ad. I do have the title , clear. The car has 42,827 miles on it. It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad $4450. The car is in Sitka, AK, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
    > Regards !!

    Make sure you wire the money from your Nigerian bank account.

              Sounds sketchy but you never know so might as well do what Mr. E30 said. Then you will know for sure.

                    my buddy did something like this for a 350Z, when the car arrived it was not the one in the pictures, his was supposed to be white, this was black...weird. he had 5days in the contract to look over the car, so he took it to his mechanic. asside from needing a full tune-up it was leaking oil everywhere and needed extensive repairs...he sent it back at his own cost.

                    now the deal for him was a 2004 350z with 73k miles, he paid like 4.5k. less learned hard way for him.

                    so yeah its sort of a scam, just hope that some nigerian prince doesnt try to ask for help too!

                          I think you should just send a signed, blank check. Y'know, in case she decides to charge you even less. What's the worst that could happen?
