garv214 - Chances are it was a fake ad, marked prohibited, and taken down. Price is too good to be true. The CL community is pretty good about policing the ads.

Scammers work on your greed and want you to react w/o using your common sense. Even if they get a $500 down payment, that's money in their pocket. You forget your common sense when you think you have to hurry to beat someone else to a "great deal".

As far as a PPI, if you're not into cars, then get one. If you don't know how to look for paint work, check gaps, look at brake pad depth, know how to check for wheel bearing failure, know what a good engine sounds like, etc, you're better off letting the experts do the work for you.
