Craiglist 98 CW

[guanacoracing]

This R shows up in MO, AL, UT Craiglist postings (maybe some others - still checking), certainly all over the place:

http://semo.craigslist.org/cto/1822685174.html

Posts are almost the same verbiage in all. Mileage claimed to be 88050 in some of them. VIN only shows up once.
Obviously price is not $2312.

VIN is given as JH4DC2317WS004826

Does anyone here know anything about heR?

I have an email out to the OP

Interesting because the VIN is that of the caR in the pictures....the last USDM '98 off the assembly line. Those pics were from a previous owner though...he sold it a year or more ago.

Probably just a scammer who grabbed the VIN/pics when it was listed for sale...happens.

So here's what the seller says:

Hi, the car is located in rochester ny, the price for the car is $2,300, destination charges are included in the final price, which means that the shipping is included. As you've probably already seen on my CL ad, I decided to lower the price, to avoid wasting time with negotiations and find a buyer as soon as possible.

few words about the car: 1998 Acura Integra Type R, 4 Cylinder 1.8 Liter vtec engine, manual transmission - in great shape, no engine problems, oil changed properly, working AC. The car has always been stored inside, 88k miles. I have a clear title for it. VIN#: jh4dc2317ws004826.

Anyway, I want to tell you that I am currently on a trip for UNICEF, that's why I chose to sell my car over the internet and suggested using ebay for completing this deal. I've already included the car into ebay vehicle purchase protection, so I will sell ONLY through this. If you want to buy the car, I can give you a detailed description of the ebay vehicle purchase protection. Thanks, Juana Marie Thomas

Incidentally, the price in the CG posts range between $2300 and $2312 so unless Juana cannot type one more digit...

I'm now only waiting to hear from the bank official in Nigeria who has $20 million that he cannot take out of the country...
