Is this a scam?
Looking to purchase a 76 280z and I’m pretty sure this is a scam.
Have you run into anything like this?
Seriously, who the **** writes an email like this about selling a car? It’s too generic.

Hi,
I apologize for the delay. I have been swamped at work. I purchased the car almost two years ago from Stockton, Ca. Has always been garaged, no accidents and has no rust. The car has a clear title and comes with a large collection of history files, car and take care of the sale for me. The shipping & payment part of the transaction will be handled by Anker Ltd. The vehicle is now located in their transit warehouse in Tacoma, WA because I had a buyer from that area but he canceled the deal due to personal reasons. They have in their custody both the vehicle and the title signed for release, which had been verified by their inspectors and they already gave the go ahead to begin the transaction.
Regarding the payment, there is a 3 days inspection period available for you once you will receive the vehicle in which you have the possibility to do an inspection to any authorized service of your choice before the company will release any money to me. If you decide not to keep it for any reason the vehicle will be sent back to me (free of charge for you) and you will get a full refund no questions asked. So basically I only receive the money if you are happy about what you are buying.
Please read their how it works webpage on http://anker-shipping.com/how_it_works.phpand decide if you agree or not.
To be able to start this transaction you need to register on the shipping company's website. Once you are done, I will approve the deal from my account and my agent will contact you in order to go ahead with the purchase.
P.S. You should know that the car will be shipped anywhere within the States at my expense !
Looking forward to successfully completing this transaction.

Any time they use the words "Agent" or "Transit Warehouse", run. Run as fast as you can.
I always ask for new pictures of the car, and ask for specific things in the picture, like a close up of the three pedals as well as the muffler. If they balk about not being able to get to the car for some reason or another, or they send you one of the pictures they already have, it is definitely a scam.
However, I happen to have an 83 Turbo for sale. It is sitting in my driveway right now, ready to go to a new home. No scams what so ever. I know it's not an older one that you seem to be interested in, but it is still a great car, in great shape and will start and drive without any problems.
