I rekon there is a scam going on too. I got this e-mail yesterday about an XR2 i sold a few months ago;

"Dear Sir/Ma,
Am Mr Darlington Ray who is intrested in purchasing your Mk2 XR2, if it is still available for sale let me know and if cashier check is okay for payment.I will like to here from you as soon as possible.I will like to make this transaction to be very fast because am buying it for a client and i have a shipper who will handle the shipping for me
Thanks.
Darlington"
