I would says scam, but then again I did come across an 08 X with like 30k miles for $19k or something like that. The lady didn't know how to drive stick and got it in the divorce settlement, I was two days too late on that.

It doesn't look like a scam to me. The only thing that is suspect is the price and that there is no reason for such a low price. The english and description about the car are spot on, I'd expect a scam to sound like:

CAR MUCH GOOD!! WE MAKE YOU GREAT DEAL!! MANY GIRLS LIKE MITSUBISHI LANCER!! TURBO FAST INTERCOOL!! WHEEL DRIVE ALL!! SEXY MAXI CAR FOR SEXY MAXI MAN!!

Price looks like a typo.

Usually scams like this take someone else's pictures or internet pics. And post a ridiculously low price. Then when you email them saying hey I want to check out the car they respond with "i'm out of the country" and usually the car is in a "shipping container" so you couldn't see it regardless. And then they say oh we use "buyers protection" to wire money or some bs like that so that they hold the money until you get the car then I get the money released to me.

In the end you get raped. If it's to good to be true, it is. Maybe 15-17K would be a deal but for that low of a price it's 100% a scam. Wait the email to say those exact words

Yea this is correct. they are gonna tell you that either they, or the car is out of the country. Then they are gonna offer to ship the car to you to inspect at your house and take it to your mechanic without you paying for the car. Then if you want the car you pay for it and if you dont want it you send it back to them and they cover shipping. Good deal right? wrong lol. All they require from you is to pay the 2-5k shipping to your house so you can inspect it... Then your out 2-5k when you never receive the car lol.

I know because when I was like 13 I was begging my dad to send money to Germany for a 95 tt supra. I was convinced those damn Nigerians where stand up guys

LOL, even if its $19K it would be half the price of one here in Oz....
Is $20K the going rate for a IX MR with that mileage over in the US?

Its a scam, they will say recintly devorced its my husbands car and they just want to get rid of it , then they will tell you its "at the shipping company" and send you ebay details to give false security. Then they will ask for a western union money transfer to pass the address to the shipping company. I have seen these dozens of times they are alwasy up on craigslist selling motorcycles this way. If you ask for a photo of the title and a photo id with it they will never respond. One way to check is to google the email they reply from and see what pops up.
