And the seller's name is Rob Hering. That's just too close to Red Herring for my liking. I'll take a pass on this one.

The patently ludicrous price helps filter out people with brain cells who could figure out the scam. From the scammer's point of view, anyone who thinks that ad is legit is an easy mark to dupe.

They'd get a lot more suckers with a semi-legit price where S buyers typically look up to - $54,999 ?

I like the idea of reporting these nut jobs, but they pop back up somewhere else quickly. I remember one from Florida where the owner of the car identified his own turbo in one of these ads. If the first correspondence involves wiring money, threaten to call the BBB and other Government agencies then go black.

You could try this link at the bottom of the listed page which provides a few options - https://www.cars.com/contact/

I don't know. Sounds pretty Legit to me! I am thinking about picking this beauty up! ...Haha.

In the past, I have messed with these scammers by acting dumb, and when they ask for a wire transfer I tell them I sent it and they keep wanting the number
and I just keep saying yeah...I sent it...They get so frustrated that I do not understand how to get them the transaction ID...and think they really have money sitting somewhere.

My little slice of joy....and keeps them tied up so they can take advantage of others....

Ha! Love that you toy with them. I do similar with unsolicited phone calls and my boys get a kick out of it. I've tried many different voices and used the Seinfeld approach of "Why don't you give me your number and I can call you when you're at home." The best, by far, and has proven to be extremely effective is answering like a young child. Start to engage them in conversation and then tell them your parents aren't home and invite them over to play. You will hear the phone disconnect so fast... Okay, I'm maybe a bit twisted, but it works. ;)
