I still am the owner of a Boxster S...I've been painfully trying to wait until the 997s come out to make my move however last week I started searching for a used 911 for a guy at work. So you know what happens next....once I find one for him, I start looking for myself...first just for fun...but then I realize how many great low mileage cars there are out there. I come across a 2003 C4S with 7500 miles..check out the link...

I put in a bid and then realize there is no reserve! Assuming there is a reasonable chance I could end up with this car, I emailed the guy with some questions...I know this isn't the best way to do things (ie, emailing after). He hasn't responded. Now I'm getting nervous. I re-emailed him this morning. What do you guys think of this car....I'm also wondering if the owner is a member of this board. He's from Palo Alto.
Thanks,
Renee

 

i don't think you have much to worry about. i know people who purchased p-cars from ebay without any problems. i know people selling cars without a reserve usually bids on their own cars to get the reserve amount that they want. there are some crooks out there that require you to send a deposit through e-escrow or western union. beware of those claiming that they are in a different country. if you win just fly over to where the car is and inspect. good luck

 

they cancelled bidding. Maybe the guy sold the car.
Next time, I'll talk to the seller before i bid...it was my lesson of the day.
