Here's a brainless scam or poor victim selling the Crossfire
Today I was looking for a Crossfire for my kid, when I came across a great price on a 2005 limited with 124K miles
The Craigslist ad has been deleted, but here's a screenshot from when it was active:

Anyway, here's the Carfax showing the car has over 174k miles: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xaxwvai6p6...ering.pdf?dl=0
Here's the wacky response I got from the seller when I told him the Carfax confirmed there was odometer rollback, and that it was a serious offense that could put him in jail:

I offered him $1,500 for the car, as that's what I feel is a fair price based on the mileage. He countered with 2k, and I countered with $1,750. If I buy if for $1,750, I'll register it stating the mileage is unknown.
What do you guys think of this situation?
Here's a copy of the registration he texted me:

My vote is scam.
The attempt at English by what sounds like a nonnative speaker is not in keeping with the name. A call to the name on the title would be the answer.
Dupicate title with no stated milage, Arkansas area code, photo with temp tag would all be of concern for me, also.
Sad that people go through such lengths to get verified email addresses and phone numbers.

She, and not yet. 
I'll keep that in mind.
+1 - Definitely a scam.
