I was looking on autotrader.com today and happened to run across a 2003 evo lancer, looks really clean, only has 48,000 miles on it, guy wants $7,700 for it..... think it's just a typo mistake or probaly somethin wrong with it?

Either it is a scam or a mistake. No way that car is only up for 7.

Well it may and you need to provide your own engine, tranny, steering wheel, and suspension lol

You got ripped off if it only had $4.99 under the hood then.

But yea, definitely a typo... I would sell my soul for $7,700 to get the money to buy that car lol.

nope, not a typo, just a scam. i emailed the guy. this is what i asked:

[DJ]Tomski wrote:hi, just wondering if the price is indeed $7,700 or if u meant 17,700. lmk thx. also, what is done to it?
Tom

as a response i got this long bullshit answer:

SCAMMER wrote:Hi there!

Sorry for the late response; something came up and I had to leave urgently on a business trip. I wanted to let you know that the car is still available. I had a buyer offering $8900 but his loan did not get approved.

I am selling the car for $7700. The 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution looks like new, it has never been scratched or wrecked. The car is in great condition inside, outside and mechanically. It will come with a clear title, bill of sale signed by me as well and all the papers (including the original manuals and keys) that you will need to register it under your name. This is what I've got from the divorce settlement, and now I want to sell it because I don't have much use for it and I could use some quick cash right now, rather than waiting for a better offer (selling takes a lot of time too...). So I'm willing to let it go for $7700 and since I only have one, first come, first served.

Although I am not home, we can still make the deal through eBay. I have a purchase protection program with them (Condition Guarantee by Seller Program), so eBay will guarantee up to $20,000 for any vehicle I sell. Shipping is already paid, as I explained, my buyer changed his mind after I have made the arrangements to ship the car. The trucking company would not refund me but can ship the car to anywhere within continental US, so I've left it at their warehouse and it's ready to ship at anytime. Also, this purchase protection guarantees that the car is exactly as I described; basically, once delivered, you'll have 3 days to inspect it at your home and if you decide not to keep it you will get refunded in no time and they will charge me with the return costs.

If you agree with these terms, please email me your shipping name and address so I can start this process through eBay. It is not necessary to be a registered user with eBay to benefit from their vehicle purchase protection program.

I await your email with the requested details

Thanks
