After contacting seller this is what he replied.

Hello,
I'm the owner of the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution on which you've recently show interest.The car is in excellent shape and running condition. The price for the car is $8,000 with shipping and handling included in price.I am located in Houston,TX now and the car will be shipped from here. Shipping will be done via DAS and it will take no more then 2-3 days top (depending on your exact location).
The transaction will be made through MoneyBookers for our own protection. You will have 5 days to inspect and test drive it upon arrival with no obligation to buy. If you are interested in the purchase of the car, please get back to me and let know so we can make the deal.

Sincerely,

Hmm...even if the motor and tranny were completely toast, it'd still be a good deal. Wrecked? Stolen recovery?

 

"Drive Type 2 wheel drive"

He doesnt even know its AWD...

 

2 wheel drive...HA HA!

 

yup few things r stupid off specially the price

 

The mods on it are just hideous, but it might still be a good deal. I'm in Houston. PM me if you want and I'll pose as your "friend" and go check it out for you.

 

that would b great. Pming u

 

nice...maybe he is rich and bought it for his son and doesn't car for the car...

 

Its poss but highly doubtful... i think its bs but the guy might be special... who knows.

 

i predict its stolen

 

I too predict theivery afoot..........


could be wrong though although it seems like it will burn your hands

 

Scam, same kind of email I got after inquiring about a car on Craigs list. Anything that shipping is included like that is a scam.

 

I live in Houston, I should call them and tell them I want to come check it out..lol

 

LOL, i wonder how that'd go... +1 on that idea...

 

ask if you can drive and view the car for inspection before making the deal.
