| All too familiar!!! I posted my '83 380SL for sale on Cars.com and all I ever got were e-mails with the same story-- most involved some sort of "wedding present" angle, the writer represented some other buyer who was too preoccupied with "business" to shop for the car himself. All claimed to originate in Canada, although I doubt it-- the skill displayed with written English was indicative of either non-native speakers or very small children. I saved most of the e-mails for my personal amusement.
Please, don't EVER accept a cashier's check for more than the amount of your vehicle, unless the funds can be verified prior to shipment of your merchandise. Call the bank listed on the check-- provide them the check number printed on the front, and ask if the funds are available. This is, of course, if the check is even believable. If the amount line reads something like this:
"FORETEE THOUZAND DOLLERZ AND NO SENSE"
...and is written in purple crayon, do yourself a favor-- frame it, hang it upon your wall, and look it over from time to time for laughs.
