Now im thinking "sorry i couldn't test drive it and inspect it" well no shit. I read something on the national subaru forms about this how they say we'll wire you more than enough money, and then the seller gives them back the difference and the money that you get from the buyer never clears the bank then they have your money and dissapear(sp).
I think its a scam, what do you think??

Thats what i thought, now im gonna fuck with him.

millions of americans fall victim to this every year.....so i can see why some people think it may be legit, but you need to play it safe on your part. never accept wire payment. always meet in person. those 2 steps will help you out the most.
