Anyone ever see a used car scam? I found an ad for a car that's pretty low priced on Autotrader. I emailed them and got back an email saying something along the lines of "I'm out of the country and going through a divorce, so I just want the car sold and it done with."

I'm just trying to think of how this could be a scam.. They haven't asked for any money yet so not sure how this will go down, but just wondering if there's common scams like this like there is for rentals... like the "Here's the security deposit money order for twice as much as the deposit, can I get cash back" scam.

TIA
