| Either way, it should sell quickly. Looks like a good deal, but the guy might just be looking for the money he's spent with a small profit for a quick sale? |

I am going to say yes and remove the ad.
Free delivery almost always means scam.
The ad is also not posted from Canada and look like a Bus I saw on eBay some time ago.

| I noticed the same bus for sale on the Atlanta, GA craigslist for $4000 a few days ago. I knew it had to be a scam. |

The reply, standard scam stuff
| Quote: | Hello there,
and thanks for the interest shown in my car. First I want to tell you that it is in great condition and never involved in an accident. This car belonged to my brother and he cared for it but unfortunately he died two weeks ago in a bike accident. I have it's clear title, signed and ready for ownership transfer.I have the rights over the car now and I'm selling it since I am not a VW fan. The car is located in Edmonton , Canada. Delivery to most US destinations cost from $500-$800 that you will pay once the car arrives. I will have the car truck forwarded to the buyer's home address. If you're interested in buying it, I want to complete this deal via Yahoo AUTOS Finance.I have discussed this matter with Everett Barnes (he is the owner of this website) and he suggested using this third party escrow. Due to the low price I expect many replies on my ad; that's why I will sell it to the first person to agree on my price - $11,999 . I am looking for a quick, safe and hussle free transaction. In case you don't know how it works, it is very simple, just ask and I will be glad to help you. You get a 7 days inspection period also. If you're interested, email me your full name and shipping address and we can start from there. Also, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards ! |

Wow Everett you really are famous, even the spammers know you.
Is that how you know you 'made it', when spammers use you to add credibility to their crap?
