Re: Found for sale on Craigslist today.
Why do you say that? Because of the "pigeon English" in the ad?

A few issues jumped out at me:GJCamper wrote:Why do you say that? Because of the "pigeon English" in the ad?
1. The VIN is missing a digit. Most likely a typo.
2. The fine print under the title says it's an E-250, but the VIN reports it as an E-350. We've seen one or two B190s built on the E-250 chassis before, but it's extremely rare.
3. The title of the auction is correct at 1996, but in the page it says 2006 in a few places. It should be a '96 based on the VIN.
4. The fine print also says it has a 5.8L (351) engine, but the VIN indicates it's a 460.
Despite all of that, I don't think it's a scam, but one should always exercise caution.

Re: Found for sale on Craigslist today.
Exactly what skater said. Seems the owner doesn't know much about it. And the grill doesn't match a 96. 133.000 miles $12.500 isn't out of the question but for a really clean unit this is not. Doesn't look like they even washed it to take pictures.

Re: Found for sale on Craigslist today.
The price has been lowered today. Also, it's listed on Airstream Classifieds. At this point, I'm pretty convinced it's a real ad.
