Certainly at a lot of details with the car. Not to mention when you click on the email link you get John Smith 555-555-5555. You would think for this kind of car there would be a lot more details and pictures. I would be suspicious with the information presented here.

I believe the intention of the "Check Availability" window with the John Smith information is for the potential customer (you or me) to substitute their own contact information and send an email to the seller

....of course none of us want to give out our email and phone for what is at best a mistake

It's obviously a scam. That car was for sale last year.
