Sorry, it's a scam. A reverse image search shows the same vehicle pictured in multiple ads. Sad

For example:

There's a Vancouver phone # in the ad. Just for fun I sent a message. I was shocked (not really) to learn the van belongs to the guy's uncle and he passed on an email address. It seems like at least they're putting a little more effort into these scams now. Good for them I guess.

Yeah... it's totally a scam, I got the same result...


I did tag the email with one of my accounts, just for my own amusement.

Cant see enough detail, and not sure what "new engine" means... But I could go take a look on Saturday if anyone needed to have a local guy take a peek.

How is that whine worthy? Looks like a quite decent van from here.

Because I'm a sucker for screwing with scammers... I'm texting them.

Also because if for some reason it's not a scam (highly unlikely, given price and bogus info,) then I might be lucky... (again... No one is that lucky.)

Don't waste your time. It's the same # from the last scam ad. I played with him just for fun. It was the typical "I'm in the military and being transferred. The military will pay to ship the van anywhere in the world for free" scam most of them seem to use lately. They love using the military connection to look honest. It is fun hearing the responses when you push to pay cash in person or view the van.

I usually mess with them till they stop responding to me... I find its way more fun than Facebook has ever been. (And it's been a long time since I deleted my Facebook account.)

I'm sure it is a scam, but the 1985 Westfalia Jubilee Edition did come equipped with a body-colored bronze beige metallic top.

Don't you hate it when you check out a Syncro on the web and you can't tell from the pictures if it has a locker or not? Lots of times the seller doesn't mention if it has a locker and all the pictures they take is all at the wrong angle to see the panel on the dash. Even if it's a clear shot, the picture is so dark or fuzzy you can't tell. Of course, you can contact the seller, but they could have saved the trouble by mentioning this value added item in the ad.

You know, if we flood the scammers email boxes or text boxes, it will make it harder for them to actually screw anyone.

Not sure what's wrong with it, he says. Well, your price, for a start.
