oh scam for sure, probably one of those that say "I am donating the money so I am not looking for a profit that's why its cheaper', blah blah and "for my safety and yours you send me the money and I ship to you" I saw one for a RX7 twin turbo for 3k. I asked safely?! why would you need safety? Do you plan on pissing me off somehow in a form of a scam? haha

Probably a scam. Could be a misprint or typo on the price. Could also be a wrecked car, just because the pictures show the car doesn't mean that is what it actually looks like right now if there really is a car for sale.

Where is "Nopa" anyways?

I dont think this is a scam, I saw Prince Abdula drifting this car the other day. He accidentally drifted the sti all the way to the US, and GUESS WHAT! he forgot his wallet, and needs 4,000 dollars to get home to Nigeria. But rest assured, once he gets there the car will be shipped overnight covered in battle star galatica space ship.

I didn't realize cars were able to drift on Magic Carpets.

Could be a scam, but Fluke's right, could just be a misprint. Hell, it could possibly be $4000, but you have to take over payments cuz he's only payed off $4k. White with gold looks sooo f'in sick though.
