Before I bought the "new" Civic, I was searching the Houston Craigslist
several times a day for "civic si" and "crx". One day I ran across an
'88 CRX Si that sounded too good to be true, and you know what they say
about deals like that. It was represented to be in immaculate condition,
one owner, everything worked, and the pics that were posted indicated
that the underhood area was clean enough to eat off of. The asking price
was $2500.
Figuring I had nothing to lose, I emailed the poster. After a day or
two, I assumed someone had beaten me to it, then I got the following
reply:
"The car is located in Detroit MI and it is in perfect condition, with
no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, special marks
whatsoever. It has 130k original miles and 40k engine rebuilt miles and
the vin# is [deleted] .It has a clear title ready to be signed and
notarized on your name. [...]
The price is $2,500 including ****pping costs anywhere in the
continental US. There are no other costs regarding this transaction.
We will make this deal only under World Escrow protection because is
more safe. If you already decided to buy my car please send me your full
name and your full address and I will start a transaction with them. The
car will be ****pped insured to your location with DAS and you will have
5 days for inspection."
Uh, yeah. I'll get right on that, as soon as I get the wire transfer
this nice man in Nigeria is sending me for helping him out.
