Seriously? C'mon. It's a scam. Contact the seller and I guarantee he will make up some story about living in another state or outside of the country, needing to sell it quickly and thus the reason for the low price. Send a meager downpayment, he'll send you the car and if you're not happy with it, then you can return it....blah, blah, blah. I'd like to find the poster of that ad and punch him in the face and stick a shiv in his groin for trying to get away with that crap. POS

Could be a totaled car that was fixed up for resale.

SOme phuckers are using google checkout for scams now. Google checkout doesn't really regulate too much I am guessing. Not like paypal!! Be careful when using google checkout everyone. They may ship you a brick or toy car and put the tracking number there and they're safe.

A couple guys I saw selling 08 M5s for lower than 35K!! Crazy!! Here's a GT-R example

Here's an example:

Hello John,

The car is still for sale. The asking price is $33,900. It is located in Sparks, NV and the VIN is JN1AR54F49M251313 . The car is registered on my name and the title is clear (no lien). It is in great condition, no dents or scratches. It was always garaged and the regular maintenance was done in time. It wasn't involved in any accident and has never suffered any kind of damage. Also this is a non-smoker car. I've attached photos and the carfax report. If you have any questions regarding the car just let me know!
I had a buyer offering $36,000 and I've lost about 2 weeks waiting for him to pay just to find out in the end that his loan wasn't approved. I've lowered the price because I'm in desperate need of cash it's either the car or the house so if you don't need a loan you can have it.
I'm currently signed up for a protection program offered by Google Checkout and I would like to close the deal through them. If you are not aware of this program you should know that it will allow you to test drive and inspect the car before paying me. You will have a 7-day inspection period to decide whether you want to keep the car or not before they release the funds to me.

If you are still interested and have cash just send me your Google id (www.GoogleCheckout.com) and I'll ask them to fill you in with the transaction details.
I don't want to offend you, but the car is priced for a fast sale so please if you intend to apply for a loan or financing do not reply to this message!

Look forward hearing from you.
Richard Moore
