Dont buy it! Buying any Cavalier is a scam! look for a used Honda, Toyota, Nissan if you want a reliable used car!

The car looks good as long as its a local deal have the car checked out by a trusted mechanic and get the title when you buy the car better yet go to the Tag office and have the car put in your name as soon as you buy it.

The price is about right for a 11 year old car with almost 100,000 mies.

I wouldn't worry about it being a scam. If you live in the Tampa area and can go see the vehicle, that rules out the scam piece. If the seller emails you and says anything to the tune of I'm overseas, military, divorcing, etc and also we'll use eBay Protection Plan, Yahoo! Protection Plan, etc then run for cover.

Also, 11-year old Cavaliers are not usually the choice of scammers to sell. They usually post late-model vehicles at very low prices to entice the buyer.

i have an 03 cavalier
it works great.
i paid 5,000 for mine
but i didnt get it from just a person i got it at a used car place.
I wouldnt pay anymore than about 3,000- 4,500 for it.
hopefully they dont ask that much tho
it doesnt look to be in the best pshyical shape
make sure you test everything
look at gas cap
check horn,
brakes
radio
windows
seats for holes and things
anything that would bring the price down
Goodluck

that's a nice one too GO check it out for sure!

You can see how much it is worth on bluebook.com or chilton.com but it seems like a great deal to me and not a scam. Cavaliers are very good dependable cars but they lose value quick which is probably why it is so cheap. My husbands cavalier is a 2001 and has 110,000 miles and is only worth a few thousand.
