I contacted the seller of a 2 year old C63 with low miles, advertised for $30,000 on cars.com once. She had some story about how I'd get the car shipped to me through her convenient connections first, then I would pay through amazon. LOL. Its probably some scammer who will claim they need to sell fast (and for a fraction of what they could get very quickly from carmax or something) due to financial complications

If you think it's legit, hop on a plane with a cashiers check; shouldn't be more than $400-800 round trip depending on the class you fly.
If I was in the country, I'd call & make a determination myself, but I suspect it's a scam; someone in Chicago would have already jumped on it.

I tried calling and goes to voicemail...it is a google voice number. I also sent an email basically stating i have cash in hand and am ready to purchase and just need to know the location of the vehicle so that i can come check it out prior to paying for it.
I already know it is a scammer but interested to see the response although i am sure it will be the normal response you always get. If this was a true price, it would be long gone for sure, even if it did have a salvage title IMO.

The one in the Autotrader post was originally priced at $116,000 and I found out it was lemoned. The original sale at that price was legit, just a lemon, the new listing I have no clue.

I am in Chicago and I have $55,000 cash in hand. Even with a lemon title the car is worth more than $55k. Hell it is worth over $55k without an engine in it. I will buy this car in a heartbeat and turn it into a full blown race car but something tells me it is a big old scam.
