Random people offering to buy your car?

Ok, this is weird, and wanted to see if this is a common occurrence.

I purchased an '87 3.2 Carrera back in October from the widow of the prior owner, who had the car for all but its first 5 years of life. It's a solid high mileage driver, but I knew it was going to need some TLC and was looking forward to trying to do some of the wrenching myself. With that said, it's visible flaws are obvious - paint, carpets, leather, vinyl, rubber all need some form of attention. Mechanically solid, but definitely needs a suspension refresh, and eventually a full engine rebuild (220K on the clock, burns a quart every 600 miles, no top-end rebuild in its history). I love the hell out of this car, but it's no concours queen.

In any event, I get home yesterday and somebody has left a note on my car expressing their interest in buying the car. They left their phone numbers and indicated they'd pay cash. It was a little weird, to be honest.

I have no plans on parting with the car right now, but has this happened to anyone else?

There is a thread on this now. Apparently some are. See
Anybody else seeing this?

Argh, I hate being the guy that starts a new thread for a topic that already exists. I need to remember to use Google search, and not the forum search next time.

Thanks!

Yes, happened to me, guy wanted to buy all my 911s, but turned out to be full of crap when it came to doing what he said he would do.
