    Default BUYER BEWARE: Scam Civic in the auto trader

    i thought id pass this onto you car buyers. there is a reaaaally cheap red 99 civic sir for sale in the auto trader. its low mileage and only 12 grand. BUT the guy is saying the car is 70xxx km but the carfax shows 109xxx km.

    http://www.carfax.com/cfm/FSBO.cfm?r...FX000008307411

    edit: guys i dont have a carfax account, a friend forwarded me this report.

    Is this the blue one by any chance?

    If so, the buyer tried to sell it here, but withheld serious information such as the title of the vehicle and other details too.

    Small world - I was going to check that car out!

    It is thousands less than any SIR, and at first glance, the price can't be beat!

    Definitely doesn't look like an SiR
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
    —Cicero, Roman statesman and lawyer

    Car fax also stated this >>> ALERT! Severe damage events were reported by a DMV for this 1999 HONDA CIVIC SI/SIR (1HGEM1158XL074464). This vehicle does NOT qualify for the CARFAX Buyback Guarantee.
    So heads up
