Hey guys Im a noob here. I have an 02 stang gt and decided to join this forum, seems pretty cool. Something just came up last night so I need some help!. I saw an add on yahoo for a 1999 jeep with like 48k for 4800 (which is outrageous considering how well jeeps hold value). Im fairly sure the guy is a scammer but I was hoping someone could do a carfax for me for the hell of it. VIN 1J4FY19S2XP483239


This was his reply to my inquiry.

Hi there,

I must apologize for the delay in response, but I'm literally overwhelmed by the number of offers.
I have recently relocated to Torino, Italy.
The SUV is here as well. I can and will arrange transportation to US for FREE at your home address and full insurance during shipping!!!
As you probably noticed, the price is rather low.
But since it's a US registered vehicle, will cost me a fortune to register here so i decided to sell it back in US.
Genuine reason for sale: the registration of the SUV here will cost me more than $4,500.
Due to amount involved, I only accept third party protection offered by the shipping company.
The SUV is in excellent condition, clear title, the engine is immaculate, no leaks, no accidents, no dents or hidden defects. I have uploaded some info and pictures with the SUV here: http://www.geocities.com/felix11442/jeep/wrangler.html
I am willing to let the SUV go for $4,800.00
I have my US cell phone with me so if you want to call me, you can find me at # (989) 785-9183
Please let me know if you're interested so I can provide you with further details regarding the transaction.

Thank You !

Shipping the car from italy is probably going to be the 4800 bux, so its totally a SCAM.

Stop thinking about it

Make a reply and say something that has nothing to do with the car and see what you get back.

hey hey now that's definetly not what im doing. lol. maybe i have no posts because hmm like i said I just signed up here? anyways yeah I sent him back a message saying that I want it, etc just for sh*** and giggles to see what he would say back to me but he hasn't replied yet. His email is felix11442@aol.com if anybody feels like messing with him.

Sorry haven't posted recently but it's hard for me to find time to get on the computer when im home, only when im work is when i have a bit of time.

Technically now I should have 2 posts but it's still showing 0 so.... I don't know whats up with that
