A good rule of thumb for stuff like that is to have them send a picture with a piece of paper that has their name/user name and the date or something like that. Something to prove that it was in their possession and recently. That doesn't guarantee a perfect transaction, but you'll at least know it's something they have.

Don't give him any time. He is a multiple time scammer.

San Antonio Express News ... Sports section page 7d. 2005 RX8 51K miles. Just take over payments $125/mo. Mission Mitsubishi

I guess it must be a repo.

ooops ... looks like they might be bi-weekly payments on a 6 year loan. Small print.

I guess I won't be getting another 8. That deal was too good to be true. Nobody giving away an 8 today.

You are a nice dad, my son would be driving the minivan.

But you can get a hell of a deal on an RX-8 though. Another local guy here that doesn't log on paid $9,000.00 cash for his low mileage mint 04' GT that was a one owner car that was dealer serviced it's whole life. The car is trashed now though
