Responded to http://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/1765628920.html

Hello,
The price is $5600.
This Jeep is a real ‘head turner’ and it will make you proud, it is in excellent condition,never been involved in accidents, 750 miles, VIN:J6M93EA074927 ,clean and clear title,no mechanical problems,no scratches,flaws or any kind of damage,all functional and it will need nothing in the near future.
I have the Jeep sealed at DAS terminal in Miami, FL ready to be shipped out will take 4-5 days through DAS and it will be free,my previous buyer(his loan did not get approved)already paid for it and DAS didn’t want to refund him the shipping fee. So you will not be charged for shipping!
I cannot meet face2face I have a new job in Tucson, AZ I would like to use Autotrader Vehicle Purchase to take care of this deal, smooth and safe. Let me know if you have any other questions, hope i didn’t miss anything.

Thank you, Dennis.

I replied, asked questions and received this, answering none of my questions:

Here is how it works if you have never used Autotrader.
You send me your full name and your shipping address so I can initiate the transaction.Autotrader contacts you with further details regarding the payment and shipping process.You submit the payment to Autotrader, Autotrader confirms the payment and asks me to release the shipment.I ship the vehicle which should be at your door within 5 business days.You have a 3 days inspection period before you confirm the deal and Autotrader forwards the payment to me or you cancel the deal and you get your money back and return the Jeep free of charge.
Basicly Autotrader holds your money safe until you confirm that this car is what you have been expected and you want to buy it. It is not a sight unseen deal.
On the other hand I can ship my car knowing Autotrader has your money and you won’t disappear with my Jeep. We are both covered.Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases.

Thank you, Dennis.

I’ve seen a few other people who’ve received the same emails word for word.
