I saw the same Grizzly on the Dallas craigslist for $3800. If this is the same Grizzly he said he changed the oil at 9 hours. It was only on craigslist for about one hour. My guess was that it was a mistake or a joke.

Yep, said it was changed at 9.3 hours, and lists the type oil and part number of the filter even lol. If it is the same one it isn't a mistake, maybe a joke or a scam.

Yeah, it's a scam. Soemeone e-mailed me back, here is the e-mail.

"Hello there,

"This grizzly is in great condition and runs great. Hate to sell but I'm getting ready to deploy to Iraq in a month and don't want it gets old in my backyard. It's still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad US $3500. I'm in Rapid City, SD, in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. I believe it's a large transaction and would like to conduct the deal using an authorized third party as eBay, so that should eliminate any trust issues. Only after you receive the atv and inspect it, e-Bay will release payment to me, in this way we are both protected. So, if you are a serious buyer and still interested in this grizzly please reply with your full name and shipping address. I will forward your infos to ebay and they will notify you with all the transaction details.
Hope to hear from you soon so we get things rolling.

Ryan"


Kind of pisses me off they would try to play on service in Iraq! Also anytime someone uses "US" when talking currency that is a immediate red flag that the individual isn't in the US.

I've found with craigslist if they don't leave a phone number and the price is too good to be true then it's going to be a scam.
I've seen the "deploy to iraq", "just divorced but got it all", and "husband just passed away" all with almost the same exact statement in the e-mail about using a "third party like e-bay" to do the transaction.
So basically if it's to good to be true then don't even bother with an e-mail.
