NOT AN M

My favorite part about this ad is that the ask price is $30k and nearly the very first line is "any credit is guaranteed to be approved!"
Any time I see a small-fry corner-stand used car lot with huge fonts advertising shit like "bad credit? no credit? Do you suck at life completely? Are you poor and cannot afford insurance but still feel entitled to drive a car??!?!! Stop in today and we'll get you going!!" - I immediately know it's a lot to avoid.

There was a TV ad recently for a used dealer in Madison selling a 2014 Chevy Malibu for $100/mon. The advertised price was $12999... I was doing the math in my head as I watched it and blurted out in shock and amazement "That's almost 11 years!!!". It's should be illegal to allow terms that long on a car. By the time it's paid off that Malibu will be worth pennies!

Interesting... That price for that car definitely raises some red flags now that I think about it more

and here's another response i've received various versions of from ads which are 'to good to be true'. this was for a camera for sale
someone said:
Hey A guy just bought this from me, but I can tell you where I got it from. I just got 4 of these from here (scam/virus/ad website address) and I resold them for some extra money. The trick is to watch for bidding to slow down and then jump in. That's what I do and I win all the time.
All the best

@straight6pwr My wife and I fell victim to a scammer when we were looking for places to rent before we moved to Stoughton a few years ago. The guy had the balls to schedule a fucking viewing at the house. We drove from Greenfield to Madison and when we showed up it had a "Sold" sign over the listing which confused us since we were under the impression is was for rent. We called the listing agent and they confirmed that it was never for rent. We called the guy who set up the viewing and my wife ripped him a new one. Thankfully we never sent any deposit like he was requesting. Fucking scumbags.
