So I'm browsing Craigslist for an E39 M5 and come across this ad. Picture looks pretty good, but price is $3066.

"WTF" I think and contact the seller. Here's the reply:
Hello again,
I really appreciate your interest in purchasing the car and I would like to clarify some things from the beginning .I just recently finished the divorce with my husband and i was forced to move with my kids at my parents in Atlanta - Georgia for a while.Using eBay services i sold other 3 vehicles and for this good feedback they gave me a free shipping for this car anywhere I will find a buyer in the country, this is the reason i used more states . I want o use again eBay in this transaction for our protection. If you are not aware of this program, you should know that it will allow you to test and inspect the car before paying me. They will gave you 15 days to test the car ,as a trial period and I think is enough for you to make a decision about my car , In the testing period you can go with the car at your local mechanic for inspection. If you won`t like my car, you notify eBay and they come to take the car and will be shipped back on my expense. But I assure you it won't be the case. If you want to continue the purchase, please reply with your full name for bill of sale, delivery address for shipping and phone number, so I can start the transaction with eBay and ask them to send you the terms of this transaction. ( with no further obligation or fees).
Waiting for your reply
Hahahahahahah. Think it's a scam?
