Put the Escort LeMons car on Craigslist. Only took an hour to get the first scammer. Here we go... Edit: he’s following the playbook. More pics...

Ugh - this kind of crap is a big chunk of the reason why I keep putting off selling my Pathfinder.  Good luck!

I’m debating how much I mess with them or if I just block the number.

I tried to sell my iPad via Craigslist a couple of years ago. When the prospective buyer sent me a message about the movers he was going to send...smh.

Apparently running at least one too many scams simultaneously. I did get a nice fat completely bogus certified check out of it though.

Somewhere in Nigeria a prince’s uncle has no winter car. I hope you feel terrible.

Which is why iv started putting “ cash only,   local only. No agents or 3rd parties.   If you’ve read this ad and agree please respond with your cash offer. All other inquiries will be ignored.”

It can definitely be a pain. What year Pathfinder do you have? I've been looking for an older 4x4 and a 90s Pathfinder would fit the bill perfectly...

Mine i s a 2005, so maybe too new for what you want. Mechanically solid, but starting to rust.

That’s what I do when my cars are done

I wonder if the scammers arn’t paying for Multi-Media text messages. So all they see is

That’s not a bad year, not huge and still body on frame. If it’s 4x4 and cheap I’d be interested if you’re somewhere in the Midwest (I’m in St Louis).

Correct-  it’s the 1st year of the last gen BOF Pathfinder (basically the same mechanically as the Frontier and XTerra).  It’s got 167k and I bought it new - it wouldn’t be real expensive, but I’m actually not sure what it’s worth at the moment.  If you’re interested (I’m in the SW burbs of Chicago), I can take some pictures and do some research on value.
