A wire transfer is the ONLY safe way to ensure the money is "REAL". A check no matter how legitimate it looks can come back as fake up to 3 weeks after you deposit it. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DEPOSIT A BAD CHECK PERIOD!!! This is how most scammers steal from all of us.
Obviously as soon as he pulls out with the Cuda I'm going to the bank and withdrawing the cash. I'll be on my way to pick up the Challenger.
I worded my ad on Craigslist like this: If you've seen Fast and Loud and think you're Richard Rawlings DON'T CALL ME!!! If you've seen Counting Cars and watched Danny Coker buy cars for half price with "$100 BILLS" Don't bother calling me. I watch the shows too and I'm not playing ANY GAMES!!!
IF YOU'RE SERIOUSLY LOOKING FOR A 71 CUDA YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS IS A GREAT DEAL!!!
Yet these "Jokers" still try to test me. I don't believe this guy is going to try to pull anything. He offered to wire a deposit to hold the car. He is leaving home sunday at 3am and driving here to see the car (about 8-1/2 hrs) He is certainly SERIOUS and I fully expect him to like what he sees, wire the balance and be on his way. Trying to pull any B.S. will not work out in his favor. I'd say the balls in my court.
