Warning for potential New England Facebook RX-8 scams/robbery ads

I haven't seen anything posted about this.

Been looking for an RX-8 for a while and have found a number of sellers in CT, NY, and RI that appear to be trying to lure people with RX-8 ads.

Some could be legit and just people terrible at selling, but there have been news articles of armed robberies and car jackings in a lot of the surrounding areas going back for the past year. Just wanted everyone to be aware and safe. In particular most of the ones that have set off my alarm bells are run & drives.

I know there are a number of us looking in these areas for cars so felt like it would be a good PSA. Remember if it seems to good to be true it probably is.
