Literally hundreds of such car deals every day and in every state, with the same car being listed everywhere even over the border!
I used to see a Gmail.com contact addy on almost all such ads a couple of years back.
Also they used a random-mispell generator so the same ad wouldn't be auto-flagged for being posted to every city. All of the vehicles looked new and shiny and featured luxury wheels (and in a luxury setting).

Dang it. Wish I had this advice earlier. I gave the seller my birthdate, SSN and credit card #. He said that he would ship this morning but I am getting worried now...
