Buying a car online, sight unseen?

I have on ebay because they guy had a lot of feedback and it was a 100. Craigslist has no feedback, so I doubt I would off of it.

Well, even eBay's feedback is pretty easy to pad if you want to make the effort.... just make a few accounts, and do a whole bunch of essentially meaningless transactions, then write glowing reviews of yourself. I've seen it many times, where it's clear that somebody's feedback is not legit.

I saw many Lexus, Accord, Camry, and Acura ads saying they are only a few years old for under $5,000 from craigslist. They even post pictures of the cars. What if the seller is from Nigeria? What if the seller just made up that "seller is being deployed to Afganistan"?

That's pretty ignorant and racist, dude. Not all Nigerians are scammers. I suggest you get an education and a more well rounded world view before posting such stupidity on these forums.

I think he was simply pointing out that nigeria is frequently the target of email scams, not trying to insult all nigerians. OP I believe this is a scam.

Please re-read my post. I didn't say "all Nigerians are scammers".
