[DeTomaso] Looking to buy a DeTomaso

I'm a little suspicious too.  I have received the exact same email but
originating from 2 different email addresses! I responded with an available
car (on behalf of a local seller) and  received a lowball offer and he
wanted to "wire" the money immediately, sight unseen. This seemed
suspicious too. I declined the offer and heard no more, until the same
email arrived from a different email address.  I didn't make the connection
initially and I just instinctively sent info on the same car.  No further
reply was made. It was at that time I made the connection between the
identical emails.

Approach with caution.
Regards,
Mike Becker
