Area code 434 is eastern Virginia. Car is in TX... Not an altogether impossibility (job transfer?), but things certainly don't appear to add up with any strong legitimacy. Especially the $4500 asking price. Of course, it may be possible that they didn't hit enough zeros behind the "45." A $45,000 asking price would seem much more in line. Have them send you a copy of the title and a digital pic of the VIN on the top of the dash, don't send a deposit to a PO mail box; street address only, verify the address and name on one of the white page directories, arrange for a personal inspection (or one by somebody you trust) before paying off any balance, pay with a certified check, etc, etc, etc. And most importantly, if anything smells funny, run, Forrest, run! Lotsa scammers out there, so buyer beware.
