No way is that for real but wonder why someone would go to the trouble to create the listing. Maybe just a sick joke. My nephew had a friend that listed a Jeep Wrangler on craigslist for $8 and listed his phone number. He had 200 calls the first night.

Its a scam, pretty sure the guy will tel you that you need to give him a deposit on the car before you can see it. Or that hes out of the country and its in a garage.

No way is that for real. He probably would have had 209 people wanting to buy it in the first hour.

Unless the motor is missing.....

My guess is he will start collecting deposits for this and dissapear. Reminds me of the guy who sold the 996 turbo motor on eBay for 7 grand. I think he sold it three times...

Be careful bogg but you never know.

And, color is the English colour. But it is Kansas after all.

Maybe $27,000 is for a picture of the car....

I had the exact same thought about the spelling of coloUr Jeff. Either way, certain spam. Even someone doing a "quick divorce/forced-to-move/some-weird-excuse" sale would never go this low.

there was a case where a guy sold a PICTURE of a dodge viper for a few grand, and mailed it in. went to court, description did say it was a picture, so he kept the money.

Ha, reminds me when some guy sold the box of a xbox 360 for over retail, clearly explaining it was only the box in the description. Like at least 2 sentences saying it was only the box, lol.
