$8000 evo

I was looking at evo 9 prices on the internet and came across a red one that a guy is selling for only $8000!!!!! which seems kinda fishy and too good to be true so i emailed him and this is wat it said

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. 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,
Robert

This is a repost! Probably a scam or the guy thinks he has a regular lancer. I was going to call just because I am in Houston and get check it out. If he's a scammer he probably won't let me see it.

it is definitley a scam. Every single time these ads are all the same saying that you will get the car after a deposit and if you dont like it you can simply return it at there expense. Stay away. And like stated above its never through paypal always something else like an escrow account or something

Anytime you see something like this, just use common sense. It's obviously a scam.
