<![CDATA[craigslist ad shenanigans]]>This one is nicely done up and well thought out given the accuracy on the rarity of the items.

Two red flags:

  1. No licence plates
  2. States it is an auto, but appears to be a manual in the pictures

...Otherwise, it could be a legitimate ad

Shenanigans? I think so, but it shows how scammers are getting better in their ads.

BTW, I'm showing this because this is the exact car my mother is currently looking for. Automatic Samba Green Del Sol, and they are impossible to find.

If you have EVER visited the site, it stays in your cache until you refresh it. You can copy and paste to your hearts content until you hit refresh.

If they cant provide either its fake, if they can its probably real.

Claiming its an auto and its a manual would be a flag though.
