if it sounds too good to be true........
It smells like a scam to me in spades, ask to go look at it and test drive, if you get a song and dance about why you can't then run the other way

What if you are buying a duck? :-)
Just make sure it's all it's "quacked" up to be.
Bonnie,
WorldPay, a part of The Royal Bank of Scotland, does not do vehicle transactions and certainly won't get involved in shipping this truck across State lines. This is a scam.

How does anyone know if there are proper emmission controls on it? Something doesn't sit right with this.
Kelly Blue Book value for an '01 Tacoma has to be _at_least_ double that price, unless it has something really badly wrong with it. Check it out yourself at kbb.com .
Asking price is less than half of what the vehicle is actually worth, assuming that everything you're told about its condition is the truth.
Seller wants you to send the money by wire transfer before you ever see the truck... which is in another state.
You mean it _doesn't_ sound like a scam to you?? It sure as hell does to me.
Thanks again guys.We won't be pursuing this "deal".

Sounds like a recent iteration of a well-documented scam. See the following page entitled "Craigslist scams":

No. "Something" does not describe this situation. Many many things do not sit right with this.

I think you made the "right" choice. Look around and buy one you can see and touch and inspect the paperwork.

I found another "great deal" yesterday, again on Craigslist. A too-good-to-be-true pick up. We wrote to him. The car is in OK, he is in LA. Wants to have the deal go through eBay. Told him we are not interested.
From Joe E. Brown maybe?
