spam, right?

I saw this and I'm very tempted to drive 300+ miles but its got to be one of those 'to good to be true'. There is no picture of the drivers side either.

I'd say it's spam but it would be nice if it's true

Ya, I'll say its spam and helifixer, I believe your in AZ, that's a big distance apart. I really don't understand this spam, what do they do, ask for a downpayment? Or, its stolen, I don't know.

I felt out a couple of similar scams when I shopping a couple years ago. They usually end up with "I'm in the military and just got shipped out to <insert country here>. I left the vehicle in <insert some state here>. If you send me money, I'll have the vehicle shipped wherever you want!"

Pretty low and pretty obvious.

I find that with those spam adds, its a draw to get you to apply for credit on one their "fine" trucks! LOL! When you do call or email, the truck just sold, but they have another one that you "need" to act on. Its a bait and switch, while they line you up for an ungodly interest rate on a vehicle...

Yes, curiousity got the better of me! lOL

I've had similar things happen with both boats I've tried to sell here in NC. Get someone sending a email to me saying they are intersted. Then the second email says, I'm deployed and can't get it myself, I'll arrange for a company to pick it up, I just need all of your personal information so I can send you a money order/check.

Good post Rodney. Actually I have seen that same truck a couple of weeks ago.
FYI, They didn't make a Platinum edition in 1999. Only in 2001 did they make one.

BEWARE and stay away of this ad. Learn it and tell others also.

i found this same vehicle for sale in the Indianapolis craigslist ad. Actually emialed back to the seller asking more info, got more info and morre pics looks like an awesome truck for that price/milege
HOWEVER
emailed a couple times back and forth found out that the truck is in MONTANA, ready to be shipped out anytime sounds like a good deal but guarantee somethings fake about it
no way would it be that cheap
She told me that she wants to use the EBAY vehicle program, buyer sends ebay the vehicle price/shipping price test drives it and inspects it if they want it then thye keep it and EBAY pays the seller
If you don't want it, then EBAY re-emburses you all 100% of your $ you spent and the seller pays to have vehicle sent back
