Saw this ad on CL
*****2002 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4*****
So I emailed the guy and asked where the truck is located (there's no scenery like those pictures within at least 200 miles of Houston) and about timing belt and whether shocks/springs had been replaced.
Here's his reply (took over 24 hrs to get it)
Sorry for delay.Are you still interested?The vehicle is still for sale.
My 2002 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4x4 is in great shape,it has a clear title,no engine
problems,damages or hidden defects.It was always garaged and never smoked in.
The price is $2,700 firm and it has 187122 miles.We will use
eBay`s protection program for our safety.I just need your full name
and address so i can open a case .(with no further obligation or
fees). Have a nice day!
so I replied, "that's all great, but where is the truck located, and has the timing belt / shocks / springs ever been replaced? And did you really add 45,000 miles between the time you posted the ad and the time you replied to my email?"
Here's his next reply, within a couple of hours.
As i told you in my last email we will use eBay in this transaction in order for both of us to be 100% protected and insured by them.They are responsible for the security of this transaction and you have nothing to be worried about.Don`t worry this transaction is legit and all your funds are fully insured by their company.They will take vehicle of the shipping and all the small details.You will get the vehicle and you will have 10 days of inspection in which you can decide if you buy the vehicle or not.If you won`t like my vehicle,you notify eBay and you send the vehicle back on my cost.I just need your full name and address so i can open a case .(with no further obligation or fees).If you agree my terms of sale,please reply with your permission so I could open a transaction with eBay and move forward with this deal.Waiting your answer today if it's possible!
Does anyone know of a way to just completely waste this guy's time? I thought it would be cool if a bunch of people started emailing him asking about the truck (I mean like, dozens of people), but then he'll just have everyone's email address. I used my hotmail account b/c I don't care about getting junk mail there. Any other thoughts?
