Anyone want to help me flag a craigslist post?

So...I emailed about a car on craigslist..this one to be specific: http://newlondon.craigslist.org/cto/1630061284.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and asked about why he decided to put a 2.5L engine on an automatic, and then turbo it after, and these are the responses I got:

Why are you advertising a 2.5L and a turbo if the engine is stock? The V6 MX3's came with a 1.8L engine with no turbo. If this is indeed an SE model, in what condition are the leather seats?

I have owned many different MX3's for 3 years. There is no stock option anywhere in the world for a 2.5L engine. There is a 2.5L engine in the MX6/Probe. Canadian MX3's are virtually identical to US versions, with the exception of daylight running lights, and what came on the car "standard" such as heated seats, and rear windshield wiper.

Sorry, but no need to send pics. I think you are trying to pull something or you are uninformed about the car you are selling.



Then this is what I got back:

I HAVE LIVED IN BOTH THE US AND CANADA VERY FEW CARS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE US. I HAD THIS CAR BROUGHT TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP 4 YEARS AGO I COULDN'T HAVE ANY PARTS ORDERED BECAUSE IT WAS A RARE 2.5 TURBO AUTOMATIC DOHC. I DON'T NEED YOU TO BUY IT. IF YOU DON'T TRUST ME IT'S NO SKIN OFF MY BACK. I BOUGHT THIS THING FROM MY MECHANIC WHO IS FORD AND MAZDA CERTIFIED. HE SERVICES ALL THE 30+ CARS MY FAMILY OWNED IN THE LAST 25 YEARS I THINK HE MIGHT TELL ME IF THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP WAS WRONG.


So - idiot? Or scammer? Both?

I flagged him once, I think his posting should get removed as it's obviously false advertising. I informed him in my last email to contact mazda and tell them this information, and see what they said.

lol, that was fast.

[onlytrueromeo]

?

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

saying it will be removed in a few mins

[onlytrueromeo]

Oh, doesn't show that for me haha.

I just like his reasoning behind it all. "My mechanic told me so, so it must be right."

[JWMX3]

probably just misinformed.... dosent really sound like a scammer

did you see any pictures ?

[RS_OBD'oh_2]

lol,

Did a google search on mazda 128 GS... it is REAL!. Or a real A/C fan anyways. You'd think the seller would have checked that.

I love how people are always right no matter what people say. ULTRA RARE 2.5L V6AUTOMATIC DOHC BLA BLA BLA

[Nd4SpdSe]

Scammer

[onlytrueromeo]

It's still up! We need more flagging!

He was just rude to me, and I didn't appreciate the all in capital replies to everything.

I'll find an MX3 eventually!

[_-Night-Shade-_]

[onlytrueromeo]

It's back!

Help me educate this fool!
