RE: {Chrysler 300} 1958 chrysler new yorker for sale by owner - Tucson, AZ - craigslist

["'James Douglas' via Chrysler 300 Club International" <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this car was for sale in Texas for a long time. It claimed to have something like 30K or such miles on it. It originally, if it is the same car came from Long Island or some place like that and was supposedly only used in the summer to go to the golf club or some such.

I was looking for a good 4 door hardtop before I picked up the 300K. 

I asked for documentation as to the mileage, like service records. Nothing.

They were asking something like $50K as I remember.

It may be a low milage car, but without documentation it is what it is and nothing else...

Keep in mind that this is a 4dr HT. Not a 2dr HT. Also, not a very attractive color, IMHO. So 30K might be a little high, IMHO.

I looked at the listing and would like to know as an overseas observer if scamming is still a thing on US Craiglist.  I don't want to buy the car but it could appear to be a "bargain" that someone might buy sight unseen.

It struck me as odd that someone would post photos from a shopping centre car park like they had come randomly across the car and the owner was there to get coffee.  Also you can see from the reflection in the windscreen a for sale sign that looks like the asking price is $69,000.  That's a massive drop to the $30,000 now being asked by an owner who just happens to urgently need the money for back surgery...

While I bought my 300C sight unseen I took precautions including using Escrow to only transfer the money when the car was confirmed on the tow truck.  Also, the ad was posted on the Club website - not Craigslist.  All worked out in that case but I just thought this ad had a smell to it.  I would definitely want see this one in the flesh or have a friend inspect before even considering it.

Folks

Up front Mea Culpa as this isn’t a Letter Car but came across this on Barn Finds and thought it should be shared.

Beautiful FL NY’r with factory dual AC in black - looks like a very fair deal.

Keith
PS: if anyone is interested in anything at the Amelia Island auctions later this week and would like me to take a look at it please let me know.
