• Be EXTREMELY cautious if someone offers to buy your Bronco for more than your asking price and sight unseen. ESPECIALLY if the buyer is overseas. It's probably a scam.

Looks like a good deal but you never know until you see it in person. Also most scams don't list phone numbers.

SCAM. This EB was sold in Atlanta last year via EBAY(not to me:cry:) & went up North.. FWIW... these same blokes like using Cars.com for some reason( I saw a sweet '77 on there last year & called too;D).You should report it/flag it as such! Pierr.

Not worthless if it works... They are just worthless!!

Man in my city bought a 69 camaro 27,000 it was shipped but never showed up. I wish I knew 3 or 4 seal team six members that loved broncos, we could put an end to these scams!!

Yeah there is one on CL for about the same price in South Florida the second I saw it I knew it was a scam. It seems like these crooks work a state much like a sales team, they canvas a state and then move on. For some reason they always use a woman (or at least a woman's persona in email). I think it may be to make the victim feel like the deal is good because the woman does not know what she has and has priced it low. Someone must be sending these people money because they have been doing this for several years now. They seem to like to use the EB as the sucker vehicle. I guess because they are sought after so they get in and get out quick.

I spoke to a lady (probably a Nigerian) once about a too good to be true black Bronco listed here in Orlando. Well it was not in Orlando it was in Saint Lewis and ready to ship, just send the money. She was an Ebay certified seller so it was safe blah blah. I told her (it) that I never buy a vehicle sight unseen and that the ad said it was in Orlando. I ended up stewing over the whole thing for several days and decided to send her (it) an email about being a slimy scam artist. Guess what the mail bounced, they move in and move out quick.

This is a SCAM! As already stated, this clean beauty sold out of Commerce GA last year on Ebay for $20k+. Here are some other photos of it that I drool over from time to time:
