On EBay, KBB and Autotrader....$23.5k for 2014 red sports package with Pioneer Stereo and rear camera and 19k miles.

Interestingly, I get a text from a guy, wants pictures. Sent them. He emails me! says he is in the military, based in Germany, really wants my car, will pay through paypal.

I get interested but a few minutes later, I get two more from two other guys with almost identical texts, again both in military, but one in a Texas and one on a base in Ca. They too wanted to make the deal. I got suspicious and dropped it.

Now, I am hoping I can get some more interest. Course, CarMax offered $19k, Cars.com through a dealer offered $19.5k as did Vroom.com. Local Nissan dealer offers more but in trade for one of his cars.

Good thing you picked up on the scams. A lot of scammers out there when you're dealing privately. Cash is king or meet up inside their bank for anything other than cash.

Considering da hassle, I would just sell to Carmax. Especially for 4-5g, not worth my time.

So... Many... Scammers... I really wanna find these pieces of sh*t and beat them till within an inch of their life. Same scammers tried to get me as well when I was trying to sell my old xB on Craig's List. Aggravated me so much that I took the ad down and just traded the mofo in. I sometimes wonder if these scammers are actually just salesman doing this to get people to trade their cars in instead of trying to sell them outright.

Especially if I could use that saved time to play blackjack and recoup the 4-5g + more!
