Trying to buy... is this real?

[drinksomewhiskey]

Hello, and first off, apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this question. 
 

I came across this ad for an 02 for sale. I submitted contact info from the website, but have had no luck with the owner reaching out. I’m not even sure if it’s still for sale. The ad is on Yupyi, which is very unfamiliar to me. Is this ad real? I couldn’t find this posting on any other sites. I am also wondering if the owner is part of this community or if anyone is familiar with the the car. Any info will be helpful thank you all. See below for the post I am referring to.

Yes, it's a scam.

VIN 2579102.

The pics are from an Ebay auction March 2016.

Since then, it was sold on BAT for $26k last year July.

Seems odd.

 

Nice car.

 

This copy of the ad implies it was on eBay...

Contact the owner and ask him which West African country he wants you to send the money to

Yes, it was fake! Just got this email about the post. I found it kind of funny. Anyways, the search goes on. Thank you all for your input.

Scaaaaaaaaaaam. 

 

I've seen several like this. And for some reason they all like Washington?

 

Dead giveaway when they refer to it as just 'car' or 'vehicle' and nothing specific about the actual 'car' or 'vehicle. Let alone all the other ginormous red flags and poor grammar... But an oil drill worker, creative  The usual Military good'ol'boy I guess is played out. 

 

You should drag it out to waste their time and frustrate them a lil' bit as long as your attention span allows. That always brings me joy.

I have seen the oil rig worker scam before too.  

Next give an excited reply. You have a friend in Tacoma! He will come by for an inspection and will deliver it to you!

You can see what happens next....
