No thank you, I've already bought an Rx-8, which is why I'm trying to get rid of this one. Thanks, though!

Because I've wanted one since they came out, I love the looks of 'em, and I think they handle better than the box, and definitely have a sweet sound.

Of course, I'm a rotary guy at heart... my race/project car is an Rx7... I just wish the 8 was turbo'd like the 7

Just a note: If you're trying to convince me that you have a money order, don't bother to even explain why it's over the amount that I'm asking for the car... . Yes, I know that it's a scam, no, I won't fall for it.

Also: Don't just send me an email/text asking "is the car in perfect shape, what's your bottom line?" with an anonymous email address. If you can't read the description, i don't want my car to suffer at your hands.

Thanks.

Hi Wonko, I'm not interested to buy your car, I'm curious to know what the scam is about if you don't mind explaining , sorry for the dumb question and good luck selling your Box.

Those are two common entries to the same scam. The general deal is "I got this money order already made out for X amount. I know you're only asking (less than)X, so if you don't mind, would you please cash the money order and send the remainder+the car with my carrier?"

Of course, the money order is a scam, but due to the nature of banking, it will take up to three weeks for the bank to catch it as a fraud, and by that time they've taken your car and whatever money you gave them.

If you ever sell a car and the person offering to buy it tries to pay with a money order made out for MORE than your asking price for the car, it's a scam, don't even waste your time responding.

Both times I got a txt message with "Is the car in perfect shape, what's your bottom line?" it's been an alternative intro to explaining why they have a money order for more than the amount
