Of course I'm kidding .

Absolutely no way would I wire him $. Period.

For fun, I did reply to his email requesting more info re: VIN#, etc. just to see how far he would try and take it. Told him I was perfectly fine, and would prefer, executing the transaction outside of yahoo autos etc...

If I hear back I'll post an update.

I was bored and decided to check it out on AT. NOLA address and phone#, but the nav shot in the pics shows Grove Florin Rd which appears to be in Elk Grove, CA, not NOLA. Spent 10 minutes trying to find the house and potentially the car on Google Maps, but couldn't. Not that we needed more firepower to back up raising the BS flag.

*** UPDATE *** "Seller" replied to my email...

<style><!-- .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { font-size: 10pt; font-family:Verdana } --></style>Hi there ,

The reason i want to complete our transaction with Yahoo is because right now i'm in Bellevue , WA i have a small restaurant here . I will be able to come back home and meet with you at my home address so you can pick up the car or deliver the car to your home address only when i will be 100 % that you are a serious buyer and you have the funds available .

This is the Vin # WP0xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [vin# removed by me]

Thanks
JC [name removed by me]
So, can anyone run a vin # for me? I did a quick check and it actually comes back as a 2007 PORSCHE 911 TURBO COUPE. Though he ignored my request to have a ppi done, this is somewhat entertaining...

This is the reply I got from him today. Similar to the above ones. It's a scam!

Whatever the source is, do not buy a 997TT for 45k.

That car was actually listed on ebay awhile back along with CL in the Sacramento area... Definitely a fraud and waste of time. Its sad that someone is going to fall for it though...

This is the latest after I told him if the car checks out I'll hand him a cashiers check.

Congrats to me , I just wired him the $$ as this is just too great of a deal to pass up!

Good thing I didn't have to waste time getting or waiting for loan approval!
