I had better things to work on over the last few weeks and let this slide. I can't believe that he hasn't even bother to change alias.

There have been a few more like that on kijiji and I keep asking where the car is over and over again just to toy around with them.

...whatever...

And yet, someone (or multiple someones) will be taken. Appealing to people's greed (making it look like they can get something for nothing, or a lot less than it should be worth), is a very effective scam tactic. We'd all like to be the one who comes across a mint '59 Caddy (or a '94 FD R2!) that was stored carefully away by some older driver after only having a few 1000 miles on put on it, now being sold by some un-knowledgeable family member after they passed away. And the fact such stories really happen, once in a blue moon, primes the pump for suckers (my brother found a sweet '64 Merc in primo condition for $1500 at an estate sale once).

I checked out Lufthansa Cargo for shipping of a porsche gt3 (similar dimensions to rx7) out from vancouver to frankfurt awhile back and i think it was around $10,000 round trip CDN (could have possibly been one way too but i cant remember)... I was looking to see if it would make sence to do a european delivery of the car and then have porsche ship the car to vanouver ($2,300 option i beleive) so you could drive it around the autobhann and nuremburging.... lol, trying to convince my dad that this would be a good option - he didnt go for it.....

... you'd think if someone was going to scam someone that they would use reasonable prices and then take $2k or $3k off
