well i figured if the car is right there, so is the guy, what can happen? you give him $ he gives you keys. thats that. Im not stupid enough to pay the guy and like wait to get the car. apparently someone else was though.

I found a 02 NSX for stupid cheap money, I later found the SAME exact photos on a dealers website. It was pretty evident that it was a scam so I just reported it.

Ummm no the car could be stolen. They can fake the paper work so you won't know until you check the vin with DMV. That is how these scams usually work when you do it in person. Who is dumb enough to pay the guy and go home empty handed?

I would run a carfax before i bought ANY car. That will say if the car is stolen.

Unless you buy from a REPUTABLE dealership, do not EVER buy a car without the signed title in your hand. Period. I took a gamble when I bought my 2000 LX casue I got it from a small used car dealership. I have seen many used car dealerships stop paying the taxes (After you already pay them when you buy the car) and people never get their titles
