CL65 for 22k?

got this response on a CL65...... Think he'll take $10k?


===============
Thank you for contacting me about the 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG with only 56,226 miles in pristine condition; asking price: $22,900.00

My name is Robert Krauss and I am from Germany. Something terrible happened to me some time ago when I was in the great war of Iraq, enrolled in the army forces. I have never believed that something bad would happened to me, but fate was so cruel and unfair with me. A “black” moment and my future changed forever. One wrong step on a mine and, unfortunately, I lost my both legs. You understand now why I want to sell my car. Walking in a wheel chair my driving days are over.

It may seem to you a little cheap. I want to sell it very soon. I would have given it as a present to someone but I need money. A chance seemed to appear for me in China. An expensive surgery could help me, maybe I will have the chance to walk again using these prosthesis but it should be done as fast as possible.
The shipping will be done using Lufthansa Cargo Company by a door-to-door method. The car will be insured along the whole period of delivery by the shipping company. So, if something bad will happen we will be insured. Transaction will be managed by a escrow company so everything will be secure.

If you are still interested in completing this deal with me please let me know so we can move forward with our transaction.

Awesome deal! Go for it. I was just offered a 2008 997TT for $8,599.98 from a guy who lost his ********* while lighting a fart on fire. Naturally one cannot own a 997TT without ********* so he is trying to sell it cheap. We will race when we both get our cars.

It's amazing the BS that people try to get away with. That was a whooper of a story. Thanks for sharing.

Basically, that tells it all. The Germans were smart enough to stay out of Iraq..

LOL, A soldier who had the cash for a CL65, is now selling it for 22 grand because he can't afford a medical operation to surgically attach prosthetics to his stumps!



The sad thing is, for these scams to keep coming up, somebody must be falling for them.
