Just wanted to give everyone a big head's up if you're selling a car on Autotrader. I just had a guy try to run a scam on me. It makes me mad, because I wasted half the morning texting back and forth, then finally convinced him to call me. It was an Asian dude...could hardly understand him because of the accent. He wanted to buy the car sight unseen, and send me a cashier's check for MORE than the amount of the car, so I would pay his "shipper" who would load the car and allegedly bring it to him. He stopped communicating when I refused to take responsibility for paying the shipper. I'm a bit naive to scams, perhaps, and didn't suspect anything at the beginning, but this didn't pass the smell test. I searched Autotrader, and they actually have a scam page that details this very scam.
Also, there was a problem with the listing wizard on Autotrader, and it catalogued my car as a "coupe" instead of a NISMO. Their IT department will have that fixed in a couple of days.
