Buy a 930 for $9400? This should be fun!!!!!!
This appeared the other day on LA, San Diego, San Fran, Denver, and some other CLs all within about 20 minutes of each other. The Denver one got flagged, but I copied it:
craigslist > cars & trucks - by dealer please flag with care: 1987 Porsche 930 !GREAT OFFERT ! - $9400 THE PAINT IS STILL BRIGHT AND SHINEY JUST LIKE IT WAS IN 1987 WHEN THIS CAR WAS ON THE SHOWROOM FLOOR AT THE PORSCHE DEALERSHIP. ADD THE FACTORY TURBO WIDE BODY, FRONT AND REAR SPOILERS AND FUCHS WHEELS MOUNTED ON EXCELLENT TIRES AND THIS CAR REALLY DOES STAND OUT FROM THE REST. THE MASSIVE TURBOCHARGED 6 CYLINDER ENGINE IS STRONG AND POWERFUL AND THE 4-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EFFORTLESSLY THROUGH ALL OF THE GEARS. THE STEERING IS TIGHT AND PRECISE AND THE BRAKES FEEL JUST GREAT. ALL OF THE ELECTRICALS WORK PROPERLY AS WELL. THIS REALLY IS A FANTASTIC CAR TO DRIVE. HERE IS A BEAUTIFUL 1987 PORSCHE 930 TURBO. FINISHED WITH A BLACK EXTERIOR AND BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR. DRIVEN JUST 55,664 CAREFUL MILES SINCE NEW. Interior color : Black Mileage : 55,664 miles Drivetrain: -- Disability equipped: -- Certification: -- Warranty : No Vehicle title : Clear Condition : Used THE BLACK LEATHER SEATS ARE IN REMARKABLE CONDITION SHOWING VIRTUALLY NO WEAR AT ALL TO ANY OF THE SEATS. THE DASHBOARS IS LIKE NEW AND EVEN THE CARPETS DON'T LOOK OR FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN STEPPED ON THANKS TO THE FACTORY PORSCHE FLOOR MATS THAT HAVE BEEN PROTECTING THEM.[/I] * it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests   NICE!!!!!!!! I don't know if is one of your guys' car, but if it's not man, I'm totally buying it from this chick. Here's where I'm at: Hello. I'd be interested in buying your car. I live in the metro Denver area and can come see it anytime; I can pay cash if you like. Thank you very much!!!!!

When I was searching for trucks in case mine was totaled, I found a 'divorce sale' newer truck for 25% of value. When I suggested flying out to test drive and pay in person the ad was removed and e-mail com stopped...
 Why do they want e-bay involved? Meet in their bank and pay by cash. KT

It's not a scam!
The scams are only for $2900 vehicles, duh!

When will scammers realize that it's too easy to spot a scam when you price a $25,000 car at $9K? You think they might actually fool somebody with, oh I dunno, a price tag of $20k? Cheap to real in buyers but not too cheap to throw up a lot of flags off the bat.
Or course I don't know who on this board would buy a 930 without a test drive and PPI..

I wonder if the guy in New York who owns the car knows it's for sale on Craigslist:
The same car was also listed on CL here in Phoenix.

HA HA Gogar - I do the same thing just to mess with people...
The last one I asked - so when my wire transfer clears, you'll ship me the car using DAS, right?

I figure If I waste this person's time for fun, It'll keep 'em from scamming someone who doesn't know any better. But I can't imagine it working.

There's a Harley Softail that gets posted here on the Houston CL every couple of weeks. It's a 2006 with a ton of extras for $3600. It gets removed the same day. Wonder how many people fall for that one.

Someone did something like this to my brother inlaw.
They put a picture of a nice Porsche for sale cheap with my brother inlaws phone #. His phone rang off the hook 24 hrs a day for months. So if you ever get pissed at someone???

For sure, Todd. When I saw this imaginary car I thought of you.
 It took a few days for "BRENDA" to get back to me. Just a cut-n-paste of the previous. On Nov 13, 2008, at 1:54 PM, Brenda Adams wrote: Hi, I want to tell you that we will use eBay in this transaction in order for both of us to be 100% protected and insured by them.eBay will supervise this transaction so there won`t be any problems.They will take care of the shipping and all the small details.You will get the vehicle and you will have 5-7 days of inspection in which you can decide if you buy the vehicle or not.If you won`t like my vehicle (not your case) you announce eBay and you send the vehicle back(the shipping back is insured by the shipping company),if you want to keep it you announce eBay you send the money(payment method and all the details will be set up by eBay)and you keep the vehicle. eBay will send you an invoice at your email in which you will see how to start the this transaction and in which you can see that this transaction is legit. If you wish to go on please get back to me with your full name, full address so i can forward your details to eBay and open a case with no further obligations or fees. eBay will send you an invoice at your email in which you will see how to start the this transaction and in which you can see that this transaction is legit. The invoice will contain all the details of the transaction. Wait your reply. I don't think this is going to last long, but I'll try. Hi, Brenda! Nice to hear from you again! I thought you maybe had sold the car and ditched me! I'm troubled that you keep sending me the same email over and over, without reading my replies. As I said, if the car is in Dallas, TX, I can have my brother pick it up in person and pay you cash. That way, we can avoid eBay and seller's fees and shipping and all of that. What do you think? I also wonder how we can use eBay in this transaction if you did not use eBay to list and sell the car, but I'm sure you're more knowledgable. I am very unexperienced with eBay and the internet. Please let me know! I would love to bring you some cash! As I told you before, I do not have a permanent address in Denver. I can give you a PO Box number if you like. My full name is Jeremy Adams. Thank you!!!!!!! Jeremy I really want "brenda" to say I can give "her" my work address, and then I'll have to break it to her that I work at the local Police Dept.

My guess is that "Brenda" is a middle-aged sweaty Lebanese man, in New Jersey. But my psychic powers aren't too good.
