VERY wrong!! I'd have to guess, barring a misprint, that the car is a salvage.

Even as a salvage that would be a good deal barring some huge mechanical problems. I've spent more than that on mods!

Well, I thought the price seemed just a tad high. So I made an offer at $21.5k.

Fingers crossed!

When I was searching for my C4s I was looking everywhere including Auto Trader. EVERY P car I called on in Auto Trader was BS. None of the phone numbers were good.
Quick story. Saw one car looked like a great deal at a great price. There was a name and a number. Could never get through on the number. BUT because of the nature of my work I was able to track down the name. The guy was very nice but stated he has been getting calls for a week about a Porsche he has never owned. He also stated he has no idea how AT got his name but that the number associated with him was definitely not his. SOOO I say the car is BS.

Yeah....it is a scam. I went through this when i was looking for my 997 and selling my 370Z. I saw an C2S at a great price and emailed the person. Asked them all the right questions, but didn't get a warm fuzzy with their responses. Seemed canned so i googled the responses and they were the same responses that people were questioning for other cars. It's not only private, it's dealers too...They use a dealers name then on the picture it says to only contact them by this email address.......Yeah that doesn't send a red flag....I try and flag them as much as i can.

For the 370Z i put it on a few sites to sell and someone cloned my pictures and tried to sell it. Thats's why i didn't put the VIN or License Plate number.

Have never used Autotrader for anything but as a way to check availabilty and market prices for specific types and model years of cars on a national level. If the cars they are advertising don't exist guess any info I gather is worthless.

Got this reply. It's the old ex-wife bad memories trick.

"Hey,


Thanks for being interested in buying my 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo.
The car is still for sale. It's in very good condition, no scratches, no damages, never been involved in any accidents, no problems at the engine, runs very well. Fully loaded and 100% working!! It has a 3.6L 3596CC v6 GAS DOHC Turbocharged engine, 33,400 miles, clear title, a perfect car.
The price I'm asking is $22.000. The only thing I am selling it's because It was my ex-husband car and as a single mother with 2 kids this I really don't need it, plus it brings back not so pleasant memories about my ex.


If you want I can send you the pictures and more details too. Just let me know if you are still interested."


Thank you

Sometimes, there are valid ones.

Some kid once sold a 1-year old Supra Turbo, fully-loaded car to me for like $7,500.00 ---- that is correcct, low-ten K.

Yesterday, I just checked a 2009 BMW 740Li, very good condition, 62K miles --- I think she is willing to give it to me for $20,000.00.
