A reply to my ad from a Scammer:

Initial text
is your vehicle on autotrader still available, what is the final price? do reply me to [email protected] to further our conversation


Email
I really appreciate your quick reply, knowing the condition of the
vehicle is paramount to me and I would be very happy if you can tell
me more about the condition? I've thoroughly viewed the pics you
posted and I'm happy with it, guess you treated it very well? if there
is any additional information about the vehicle please do share it
with me, i wont mind? what is last price for the vehicle and also I'll
be paying you via PayPal, do you have an account with them?


I replied CASH ONLY
