Play with this guy as much as you can... I can't wait to see how this turns out! And, if in the slight chance that it's for real, you get yourself another Z for cheap!

If this was real the car would already be in my garage!!!
Imagine, a '95 ZR1 for $9850.
It would be worth sleeping on the couch for month or two!!:D:D


I'll keep you guys posted, so far nothing since the last email.

I am Ron Cooper Jr from Cooper Corvettes and Performance Cars in Triangle, Va

This is our car. We own it. Its sitting outside my window this very second. It is advertised on our website and on cars.com for $28500 asking price.

I have been notified by several concerned people about this SCAM artist. I have reported him to autotrader.com and had the ad removed.

I also emailed this crook posing as a buyer. he sent me pics and write up and his military story about how he is leaving the country..

ALL the pictures of the car are pics I took right across the street from our dealership.

SO NOBODY SEND THIS CREEP ANY MONEY!

Car can be viewed on our website at www.coopercorvettes.com

Thanks for bringing this to light everybody.

Re: Anyone seen this car
 
Ok first email was just a basic email

here is second email

Hello,
Here is the VIN: 1g1yz22j9s5800367
The car is in excelent condition. The pictures show its exact shape. Garrage kept! This car runs and drives great. The transmission shifts like a dream. This vehicle's engine is in perfect working condition, no mechanical problems. Oil pressure is good. All mileage are highway mileage. No accidents. No paintwork. All power and optional equipment work perfectly. This vehicle is perfectly sound, no known defects. It has a clean exterior that looks new. Interior is clean and well taken care of. All electrical and optional equipment on this vehicle are in perfect working condition. You will receive the car along with all papers and recipts that you need, everything signed, ready to register it in you name. You will receive the TITLE, keys and owner manual. So you don't need to worry for extra money you would have to invest in it. (you have to consider that the car has 12 years on it....)

I am currently stationed in Florida with the Army National Guard. I WILL BE STAYING HERE FOR 3 MORE WEEKS BEFORE BEING DEPLOYED TO IRAQ AND I WANT TO SELL THE CAR FAST. I have the car here with me and I will ship it for free as long as you are located in the US. The military will help me with the delivery of the car. It takes 1 day to handle the shipping and 4 days to bring it to you. I hope this is not a problem. In case you want to buy the car I will only use a safe third party escrow service, that will secure both your money and me as the seller.
The total amount that you'd have to pay is $9480. I know that this is very cheap for such a car, but since I will staying in Iraq more than one year, I have to let her go.
Thank you




My email
What base are you on?
what escrow service do u use?
I still would like to see the car im in jacksonville no need to ship it
jp




His third email to me
I am sorry, but I really don't have time to meet you and complete the sell in person, but if you have the money and really want to buy my car we can use a safe escrow service. I have a friend at the base who sold his car over the internet through a safe escrow service. I want to use it too, because things worked out great for him and his buyer. They will secure the sell and will make sure that everything will go smooth.
Your money would not go to me, and you could inspect the car with a mechanic and take it for a test drive.
"Escrow Auto is the premier online escrow service on the internet. Escrow Auto enables two parties to engage in a sale without risk. Escrow Auto protects both the Buyer and Seller in a sale, because payment is not released until the item has been received. The entire process is secure and essential to anyone who regularly participates in online trade such as AutoTrader users."
Let me know, John Purcell


My next email to him

Hey John,
Just wondering whats your rank in the army and have you been to Iraq before that must be scary.


I looked for escrow auto and havent found a website yet do you have a link?

I would really like to come see the car is there any chance of that any at all?
