If this car is genuine I will, here and now, guarantee to double the buyers money within 24hrs of him / her taking possession.
Its a common scam........... post up a car that is temptingly cheap, almost too cheap. Buyer makes contact, seller and car are somewhere else in the country or overseas, seller offers to 'deliver' car after receiving a holding deposit with balance paid on delivery. Buyer cant believe his luck, congratulates himself for out manoeuvring everybody else and sends a nice chunky deposit. The same car has been on ebay and the same seller has mint 60's Mustangs for 5k. Sadly people want to believe it is true, so they fall for it.
