    Just for kicks I emailed that I had cash in hand and wanted to see the car today, this is the response.

    Hello and thank you for question,

    The 1999 Mazda MX-5 Miata 10Th Anniversary Edition is in great shape,no engine problems,damages or hidden defects.It was always garaged and never kept outside,have only 6450 mileage,the 6000 miles on this car was accumulated within the first 3 1/2 years of ownership.The car has been in fully protected stored under a flannel car cover since the fall of 2003 and has only been driven 50 miles a year thereafter, and started 2-3 times a month during storage (car is on a battery tender). I`m a single mother with 2 children because I divorced with my husband and after the divorce I own this car, I don`t need it and that`s why I`m selling it so cheap.The price for the car is $3800 with shipping included. We will use eBay`s protection program for our safety. I just need your full name and address so i can open a case.(with no further obligation or fees).For more info and photos contact me back .
    Thanks!

    Ask them if they will take a "cheque" and deal with your local shipper who will pick the car up in person.



    That's what the scammers always want to do.
