is this a joke?

this evo is 11k and it has probably twice that in upgrades....It is listed in Orlando fl but when I emailed this person on autotrader they said the car is in CALIFORNIA..wtf. List the car in cali im sure it will sell! ALSO when i called the number listed on autotrader its a FAX number, all you get is the static fax sound. I smell a scam here...although it could just be a good deal. Anyone in Cali that could ck it out?

Here is the email I got back from the seller, since the phone number didn't work..

Hi,
The car is in a good condition and runs very well ( price $11.000-shipping included )
Currently I'm in Iraq and the car is Sunnyvale , California. I have to stay here about one year and that’s the reason for selling it. If you want to inspect it I need your name and your phone number and the Yahoo Finance representative will contact you by phone and by email with all the details . We will not pay any extra fees if we'll make the deal through them
I'll wait your email if you are interested.
Regards Mary

Do not fall for it. I've seen people getting scammed with this kind of scammers. For e.g, my roommate was looking for a car, and was scammed over 20K by someone who represented themselves as a general from a marin corp. Again, DO NOT FALL FOR IT. Yahoo has no interest nor no responsibility of those false ads, and pretty sure autotrader would do nothing about it neither.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
