Fvck autotrader - what a bunch of scams...

Fvck that ****. I am looking for a used car to buy, selling the civic eventually. Anyhow, I'm, evaluating my options - either a 3 series BMW, Audi A4, or IS300 I think. The thing about the BMW's - I've searched for 3 series for less than 23K..

There are a few really cheap ones that come back - even M3's, like 2003/2004 series - for around $15-19K! WTF? Ok, so I email these scammers - same story. I've moved overseas, or to another state. You'll need to send a deposit, I'll ship the car for you to inspect, and if you like it you can send the rest of the money.

I can't believe there are so many scammers out there....man what a joke - they ruin actually trying to get a decent car.....fvckers...

Maybe - first things first - I need to dump the vic!

Hopefully the parts I bought from majestic will be here this week or next so I can start transforming her back to stock....

I'd love an IS300, but I really want one of the blue ones - they are supposedly rare to come by. For some reason there not many on auto trader....
