Tranny swap to an ATX? Yeah, that is fishy...

Might explain the asking price.

Look at the grammar in the add. That's someone you want buy a car off of?

u can see the shift boot in the pic so it not a atx. that looks to me like a bigger than stock front mount. and there is a rocker switch in the center console right below the lid and no mention of it, but he mentions the Intermittent Wipers twice. ???? i flagged it

srtjesse · Post by **srtjesse** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 4:13 pm

well i finally got an email from the guy i just asked him for more pictures and this is what i got

this is the email he sent it from
Joshua Smith (joshuasmith312@yahoo.com)

Hi,

I appreciate your interest for my car. It is still for sale. It has 66000 miles and it is perfect condition by everything(engine,trans,interior,exterior).You need only gas and you can run it without any problems at all.If you want to run a carfax report by yourself the vin number is 1B3AS66S65D148777.The title is clear and on my name.Reason of sale is that i moved to Birmingham(United Kingdom) with my new job and i can't register the car here since it is made for USA, according to USA standards so i guess it is time for my car to get a new home.The price is $4500 and i am sorry but i don't accept trades.I already have lots of emails that i need to sort them out and i will take in consideration only those persons who are really interested in buying my car to be sure that we don't waste each other time.Let me know if you want to see more pictures and i will send them to you.

Thank you.

P.S. If you decide to buy the car,i will make a private auction just for you on eBay so you can purchase it there. That way you will receive assistance for the purchase, paperwork, title transfer and an extended warranty. They also are guaranteeing purchases up to 50.000 so we will both be protected.

Joshua Smith

Scam Scam Scam, id never buy anything from craigslist, its pretty shaddy

especially since one of my friends almost fell for a scam in which he was selling some rims and he ended up getting like 4 or 5 email that all sounded the same and wanted to send a check for more then the asking price

so one of them did. he was selling the rims for 500 and they sent him a check for $2,000 where he would cash it and return the rest of the money to there so called pick up reciever of whatever

its just full of scammers.......

WTF???

2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4 Turbo 4 door Sedan !!!! Powered by a 2.4 Liter DOHC 4 cylinder Turbocharge Engine coupled with a automatic transmission.

Really. Oh, and the Craigslist ad on the other car is gone.

um the letter looks like a scam, and that definitely doesn't look too much like an auto transmission
