Talk me into or out of a bad idea.

As nobody knows I recently sold everything and moved cross country. I'm now gainfully employed, but still don't have a car. I've got about $1500 in security deposit checks that i cannot cash because FML washington, but should have that resolved soon. That leaves me with about $2000 to spend in the next week or so on a car. A daily driver for a 20 mile round trip 6 days a week.

I was thinking about something sensable like an s10 or jimmy when i stumbled across this. It seems too good to be true.

I haven't called my insurance company for a quote yet because i'm afraid... what do you guys think?

The price makes me wonder what's wrong with it. IIRC genuine Typhoons go for considerably more.

If you can get it for that price and it's legit, do it.

that's a scam or they'll murder you when you show up.

Deal of the century if it's real, but I'm with patgizz.

Buy it NOW. I'll trade you a real s10 for it.

I think they forgot a zero.

They missed a zero.

No way in hell a $2000 Typhoon lasted 4 days on CL, this is a body kit at best, you in a body bag at worst.

$2000 for a car an you live in Tacoma?

Challenge accepted!

Believe me, I've seen every car on CL.

Take a gamble with your life and see if the typhoon is legit

Typhoon is a scam. The same ad is on my local CL too. http://ottumwa.craigslist.org/cto/5139402114.html
