Scam test: Email the seller and ask to see the vehicle.

Chances are good it's "in a secure facility"; that's a good indicator of
a scam. I played scambaiter with a similar ad in Toronto a few weeks
ago, it eventually developed into a fake escrow scam situation at which
point I bailed. I could post the script of the interplay on friday if
people are interested.

Happy Trails,
