Location: Chippewa Lake, OH | Yeah right, in these conditions and at these prices (with no location)- gotta be scams!

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | If 19K is actually the price on the Saratoga, then this is an outright steal. This car sold for over 40K at an auction 2-3 years ago. I agree, I think this listing is a scam.
This is what the chassis and interior look like.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | Apparently this auction is legitimate, I contact the seller and here's the reply I received: This car is an outright steal at 19K if it's all true.
" Hi
The car is in pristine condition ,Fully restored to the highest standards, super nice!
I bought the car in 2015 and since then i drive it only in weekends just to keep the engine in good condition .Always garaged, non smoker , no pets . Excellent condition ,Looks & drives great . Very clean interior and exterior, very Well maintained. Operationally, this car is amazing , comes with owners manual, and a clean/clear title ready for transfer to new owner .Totally free rust car , without any issues or damages.
I can help or assist you with shipping to Canada . You can buy it now for $19,000.
Bellingham WA is the car location .
We complete the transaction through eBay so that you will have the buyer protection that they offer.
I can add a buy it now option on eBay then you can complete the purchase on your end.
For payment I accept Bank to Bank Wire Transfer .
So if you agree with the price , shipping and payment please send your phone number also to talk about all the details".

Location: Ferndale, WA 98248 | This has got to be a scam. Seller has 92 seller feedback ratings over the last 12 months, with the most expensive item sold $140. Then all of a sudden 10 listings for vintage cars appear. The Desoto listing has already disappeared.
I live just outside Bellingham. If you have an address, I'll go by and see if its there.

Location: Florida | Wire transfer is the red flag, I'd say.
Grammar and punctuation are also suspect.
Scam. |

Location: Hellertown, PA | You just ask to go see the car even if you don't go.... and most of the time the answer is : the car is ready to be shipped in a container and you can't go see it... classic scam... |

Location: So. Cal | The answer I got from a scammer was that he was currently staying in Cuba! But of course, he wanted me to pay him immediately.
