it sounds like a big scam.. did she say she would send you like 5500 and you keep the 4500 and send her "friend" who is gonna ship the car for her the rest of the money for shipping... lol

thats all they want is the shipping money from you and never pick the car up and then your bank is gonna find out it's a fake money order and then there gonna take the 5500 back out of your account and then youu are gonna be out 1000...

i had a vw on the samba about 7 years ago for sale and they tried pulling the same thing.. i was 16 at the time and was all about it and when i got the money order it looked fake so i took it to the bank to have it checked out and the bank was real and so was the account but the money order was a fake it had never been issued.. i tried to get ahold of the person and they stopped replying to my e-mails lol

That scam has been around for about 8 years now. Do a google search for "Nigerian scam", and you will see what it is all about.

thats i would do as well, have them send you a check and wait for 5 days or use paypal then ask them. No need to have each sentence look like it comes out of a book. They would be buying a car, not writing a novel. lol

just ignore all that shit and tell everyone that the car is for sale for CASH ONLY to local buyers, i sell cars on craigslist all the time and i will only sell them to people in person for cash and if they want to pay by money order or cashiers check i go with them to get it.
