hello Mr. this is my ad and there is a reason for that. I know it might sound contradicting. My girlfriend was going to buy my car so we could keep it while I am gone. But then I couldn't sell it to her for that much. So I thought if I find a cheaper car then she could buy it, and I could make sure it is in decent condition. I don't have to put all these details in the ad.

True, but it just sounds fishy.. Especially when you first read it.. Now I understand your ad...

ahaha. I haven't gotten a scam email yet. I am really surprised, because it happens especially for high priced items. one guy offered me a go kart with the trailer LOL

Ballz, thanks for the edit

I'm not talking about scams, but flakes. CL is overrun with flakes...and scammers...mostly flakes though IMO.
