I am looking to purchase the following vehicle that is currently posted on Auto Trader by Wayne McNichol. Is this a scam?

http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Jeep/Grand+Cherokee/PORT+ELGIN/Ontario/19_9348628_/

I started researching more info after receiving the following email:

The vehicle is now at the logistics company in Halifax, NS.They will take care of everything; Shipping and insurance, power of attorney to sign the bill of sale, all necessary documents. When the vehicle is delivered, you will have a 5 days inspection period to test it and inspect it. If you find any problems and don't agree to buy it, the vehicle is picked up.You will not have to pay any fees regardless of your decision.I'm sure that won't be the case since they also do a mechanical inspection before starting the delivery and will send you the inspection report.Also the vehicle has been professionally detailed, I attached more pictures to my e-mail. If you agree to buy it, after the inspection period, the ownership is changed to your name and the payment will be sent to me.Please send me your full name, address and I will forward them to the logistics company. After that, they will contact you to make arrangements.

Thank you,
Wayne

  • Sounds like a scam to me! I received this email this morning and they're too similar to be coincidental! I'll be marking the email address as spam and continuing my search for a car elsewhere!

    Hello,

    Thanks for your interest.The vehicle is well maintained, only non-smokers have been in it, no issues, one owner, all servicing done on schedule at the dealer and it was never involved in an accident.The price, as stated in the ad, is 9,900 CAD.I retired and just moved with my wife to her home town, London (UK).I wanted to take the vehicle with me but decided against it, it is now in storage at the shipping company in Halifax, NS. I will pay all fees to return it. Please reply if you're interested and have any questions.

    Cheers,
    Wayne McNichol

    All the best in your search for a vehicle
