I need $7400 by the middle-end of August. Help ! ?
I found the perfect car. Its a 2007 Red Toyota Camry. The guy has the car in spain and its going to cost $400 shipping and handling on my part, $800 total. Well, im 17 years old. I know i cannot take a loan out of the bank and my parents will laugh all the way there if I ask them (lol). This september will be my senior year in highschool and this year I have to drive to school because I only have 6 out of 8 classes and we are the only class that gets the privilege anyway. I ordered some mail letters from home thing to start making money from that but i hear alot of scams from it. This one doesnt require me to place ads or pay for all that gaarbage but I wonder how they provide all that.. =C. Anywho, any suggestions on how I can get this car. Any way to make money of that much? I’ve already started bragging about it to all my friends..lol bad idea. But if I dont have this car I will be ruined. I know some of you guys know how to make that money. Help me and I will love you forever ! ! !
First off, any of the “make money from home” links are scams. Don’t fall for them.
Second, it also sounds like the $7400 Camry in Spain is a scam as well. Did you find this car on craigslist or eBay? Did he offer to use the “eBay Protection Program” or something similar (it doesn’t exist)? Is he military, divorcing, living overseas, and “needs to sell the car cheap, fast”? Did he offer to ship you the car and let you inspect it for 3-7 days?
Both have “SCAM” written all over them.
If you have a link to the car ad, post it here. Would love to see if it is indeed this well-known scam
……….
look for a different car.. try carmax or craigslist… try looking for one closer to where you live. it might be a scam, especially if he wants u to send the money first.. just look for a car locally.if u find one nearby, take ur mom or dad to look at it, see if its in good condition. its better to look at it and try it out before you buy. if its only 7400, then it could be a scam.
Almost fell for same scam. 05 bmw for 3000, wanted me to send the money first he wud transfer it for free. dont fall for it!

Why do you have to get this car from Spain? I don’t think this is a good deal. Remember, if it’s too good to be true it probably is. Also ask him to send you the VIN of the car and ask the dealer if it’s a legit VIN. Personally I would stick with a local dealer or private party. Also, PLEASE take the advice of your parents, Remember they have the best intentions in mind for you. Unlike this Fella in Spain. Just be sure to CYOA so you don’t work hard at making all this money and then sending it off and not getting a car.
Now on to making money, if you really really want this car, Work you tail off to get it. When I was in high school (Many Many moons ago) I worked 3 jobs. In one summer I worked 2 full time jobs and 1 part time. I made almost 1200 dollars a 3 month, (Please keep in mind that this was in the 70’s so pay rates where much lower. I would think if you put things on hold and work hard, save your money, you should be able to get close to the amount you want
………..
I am pretty sure that this is not legit. I shipped an audi a4 from Germany to US 3 years ago. Shipping companies charge by size of the car. Back then it cost me $1100 shopping around for a good price. With fuel prices being what they are today, I doubt the price has dropped that much.
As for the car, a 2007 for 7400 sounds suspect as well. The blue book for an stipper base model 07 Camry with 50,000 miles (thats HIGH) is $13,800.
Also, if the car is in Spain, is it US or Euro spec. If it is Euro, you are looking at quite abit of money of money to convert it to US specs. Not sure with Toyotas, but it could include upgrading bumpers, glass, emissions equipment, interior guages, etc….
Speaking of Euro, are you sure the price is 7400 US dollars, or 7400 Euro’s? If it is euro’s , then it is gonna be quite a bit over 7400 US. Then you will to go through all the customs paperwork and crap. Can be a real headache.
Save yourself alot of time and trouble and find a local car that you can test drive and make sure you like. Even if is is not a scam, it is more trouble than it is worth.
