Scam Alert
An "FYI"! I have my FJ40 for sale (Listed here and elsewhere). I received a text from someone "interested". I could not return the call as it would receive a text only. I confirmed it was for sale. He asked for a report from"vehiclererportweb.com"=punched it in and the FTC lists it as an on-line scam! Sellers Beware!

Fake Car Report Websites
There are about 100 fake car report scam sites out there (check youtube). They get you to pay like $15 for a fake car report before they will purchase your car. Most people won't complain for getting scammed for $15, but it adds up.

I’ve been avoiding such scams for the past three decades by buying new, giving my old to my kids.

Thanks. I was just in the market and the amount of scams on the other side is ridiculous too.
