Craigslist Scam – 2004 Toyota Sienna LE DVD

Points that make this a scam:

1. The fact that he said the shipping is free is a dead give away.  Depending on where he has to ship, it will cost between $700 and $2500 to ship.  Kind of puts a dent in his $2900.
2. If you look at the real deal at $11,300 and his $2,900, it is the famous to good to be true issues.
3. With a little bit of research on the VIN, we find that the pictures for the real deal and the scam deal are a match, making this a scam.
4. You will also notice it has in fact been removed rather quickly from Craigslist.
5. Do the research and it will save you from losing you money.
