I find the wording rather suspect... "the engine works"...who describes a car like that? "Little bit of rust in the trunk" What trunk?

Probably fishing for someone looking to jump on a great deal and send him a nice deposit so they don't miss out on the car. When they get to a provided address, the resident will be just as surprised as the buyer.

Seeing more and more of these scams daily. Not just cars, even little household dumb stuff. Marketplace is common ground for this anymore. I'll never understand how people do this on the daily.

Actually, my daughter's school was locked down recently because of a FB Marketplace robbery. I don't know why people wouldn't demand to meet near a police station?
