That has to be a typo, nobody in their right mind would sell their 8 (in good shape as claimed) for $5500..

I say typo or has a salvage title. Whoever buys it, let us know.

he said low reserve... given that craig's list isn't an auction site, I think the seller is confused.

First thing that I noticed.

The car is probably in Nigeria, Western Union anyone?

Probably one of those scams where you pay the seller, but the seller uses a third party handling company to "deliver" the car. You just never get the car.

craigs list has more scammers trolling it than i've seen in any other website, including ebay.

I monitor the local Tampa section and almost half of the posts are from scammers or spammers

Not always. Dealers can be just as bad.
