I'd say it looks legit. There's nothing about the CL ad that causes my fraud alarm to go off.

Roger.... don't you think thats a SUPER buy?

I think the invoice on mine was $105 brand new.
I bought mine used from Tony of PA. It was only a year old.
We flew from CA to PA. And drove back Tony was a real nice guy.
This one for sale is exactly like mine.

It is $10000 below NADA average retail that seems low

Yes Steve, it's an amazing buy. The invoice on my '06 was $154k and I bought it from a dealer in Illinois in '15 for $39k with 36k miles on it. There are good buys out there if you wait long enough. You never know what the story is until you investigate it though. It could have a salvage title. Or the seller could be desperate to sell it for what he has left on the loan... or any number of other scenarios.

I'm just not seeing anything in the ad itself that screams "scam" like you'd expect to see. As always, though, it's Caveat Emptor on Craigslist.
