I got the exact same email. The person that wrote it needs to go back 
to school because his enlish is bad with poor grammer. 
  I aked him where inside the USA he lives and he didn't tell me so 
it is a scamm. Because if he were for real he would have no problem 
telling me which state he lives in so I could pick up the car if I 
bought it. He did not tell me so it will be hard to track him down 
after he scamms someone.

This thing just gets weirder and weirder...anyone know if this is 
indeed the same car being offered within the last month or so by a 
scammer? Obviously I no longer plan to purchase this, I just find it 
interesting:
