Hey everybody I know there are tons of threads about my car on craigslist e.g.: http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/1571456575.html, but I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum.

I actually fell for the craigslist ad as well, but then I found the car on autotrader and purchased it 2 weeks ago.

I did not realize how many spam ads this person has placed using my car, just realized it is all across the country.

Anyway I hope she stops because I am getting sick of flagging these ads...

Still a scam. Picture with an orange in your left hand and a shoe on your head to ensure authenticity

Are you guys serious? You think I am scamming you guys, lol

Why should a scammer spend their time registering to supramania? I get you guys pics soon enough, but definitely not stupid enough to put a shoe on my head :biglaugh:

I'd rather keep that private, no offense but this car is all over the web with my vin number already exposed. But I paid what I think was fair

I don't care if it does, I am just introducing myself to the forum, it is the middle of the night and raining and I am not going to go outside and take a picture of the car.

Believe me or dont, but there isn't any good reason for me to fake all this..

BTW: Thanks for the warm welcome... j/k

Awesome, your car is very clean.....and welcome to the forums. And yeah, I also tried contacting the craiglist seller via e-mail. I wanted to see the car in person, but she said it's in Texas storage and will only deal with Ebay Auto purchase. Location was LCC (Leeward Community College) in Oahu, Hawaii.

Thanks for the welcome! That is all a scam the owner was in Ventura, CA and was a guy not a women...

The car was well taken car of and I used to own an MK3 like 10 years ago, bought a WRX drove it for 100k miles than looked for another MK3 and found this clean one. Funny thing is this car has less miles than my original MK3 and my WRX
