Standard scam. Single photo, sub $2500 price that is too good to be true, and an email address for a reply, either in the text or superimposed on the photo. InstaFlag.

I expected this to be an ad for a VW microbus.

Around here, they are always trucks. Always $1500-$2500.

Like this, $1500.

Scam.

Yup, get them here, too. Always with an email address superimposed on the picture, like "jenni123ab@gmail.com" and no other contact info, nor even CL relay email.

In reply to RealMiniParker:

I most frequently see Tacos and Wranglers around these parts. Easy to tell they're fakes because either of those would still go for twice the asking price even after surviving an IED blast. The ad titles also usually contain vaguely descriptive and overly positive adjectives, like "Great condition!" or "Very beautiful."

The ads often lead with odd features:

2009 Porsche 911 passenger side airbag $9000obo

2013 Toyota RAV4 dual zone climate $4000

2000 Corvette keyless remote $5000
