[Mg-t] [Morris] FYI - Good deal on MGTc on Craigslist in NorCal

[Jim S.]

I would also like to know what makes someone think that this http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/car/646614249.html
 is an obvious scam.
   If it were for sale for $6000, I would say sure. But this could easily be a realist who knows that his car is not very original.  Just a driver.  As others said; never buy without an inspection, and don't send money to an unknown stranger and hope the car arrives later.  Whomever is that trusting just has a "scam me" sticker pasted on his forehead.
   
  Don't shoot the messenger below in this case.  He or she is just being cautious in a well meaning and friendly way, and may have been burned before or read too many stories about losers picking on well meaning people.  You don't have to be in the wrong, you just have to be visible to predatory lawyers, and you can become a possible victim.  I understand what they mean; but, this case of a fellow enthusiast just pointing to a published ad seems extremely benign.
   
  (and I wish it was near enough to me to just drive over and see it.)
   
  Regards,
  Jim
