A friend of mine wanted me to advise him on acquiring a 996 TT, he would find the car I would do the homework on it. He found a car in California that seemed to fit all his wants and desires. The car was being brokered by a company called Flight and Freight Beteiligungs. I wanted to have a PPI performed on the car and have a local friend look over the car because the buyer and I are 2,000 miles away, they said they didn't want to show the car off to someone who wasn't a buyer which I felt was a little fishy. They also weren't interested in doing a PPI which I felt was bizarre. Originally they sent me a carfax and stating the car had never left California and was one owner from new with a copy of the title. I decided the deal was extremely weird so I decided to run the carfax myself. My carfax had vastly different information, I saw the car was a 3 owner car that was delivered new in New York and never left the state. I then looked up the address on the title and the owner neither existed in the city the car was supposedly in. My point was to make others aware of the scam the "Broker" in California was trying to do.

Looks like some random car's CarFax with edited vehicle info. Even the font looks a tad off. Is there a way we can report shady dealers such as this? KBB? Could this be considered fraud of some sort?
Selling co. has a German website... Wondering if the car is even in CA? May still be in NY. Nothing on the (real) CarFax would concern me. I would have been all over this car 2-1/2 years ago, as I was looking for a convertible.
