PLEASE -Use extreme caution when selling or buying any type of vehicle online, There is way too many scammers and cheats who only will steal your money, or rob you of your vehicle and bank account, The promise to send you a "money order" for more than what you are asking for the vehicle, and tell you to cash it, and give the driver who is going to pick up the car the extra cash back, which usually is about 1000-2500 cash difference, and then before the bank calls you to let you know the money order was fake,, your car,, and money is gone-,,so beware,,worse yet is the people who are posting on Craigslist selling a car, or motor home for a super low cheap price, and when you contact them, they said the vehicle or RV motor home is located in another state, and they are in the Military stationed on a ship deployed, and if you would send them the money cash wired, or bank transfer they will arrange to have the vehicle or item delivered to your doorstep free,,,again scam,, there is no car or RV or anything in another state,, they are NOT deployed on a ship, and they are out to convince you to send them the money by wire, or bank transfer,, then Gone,,,you get nothing,, so please,, if you get any replys, ALWAYS try to verify money request or bank transfers through you bank,,they are aware of many of the scams going on and more than willing to help you,,Trust me,, don't lose you money or offer any banking details ever to anyone,,
