I was looking through the local Craigslist ads last night and came across a 1996 911 Turbo for $7640.00 Of course flags are flying, but I thought if it was local and I could see it personally then I'd see where it leads. I sent off an email for details and received the follwing reply. BTW, the ad has been pulled from Craigslist when I went to find it tonight. Well, of course it's nowhere near Vancouver, BC. Surprise
It's amazing what people try to get away with, but I suppose some people will bite.
Here's the email story I got back:
Hi there!
Sorry for the late response; something came up and I had to leave
urgently. I wanted to let you know that the car is still available. I
had a buyer offering $9,000 but his loan did not get approved. Why is
the price so low? I am going trough a divorce.
So I'm willing to let it go for $7,640.00 and since I only have one,
First come, First served.
The 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo looks like new. The car is in great
condition inside, outside and mechanically. It will come with a clear
title, bill of sale signed by me as well and all the papers (including
the original manuals and keys) that you will need to register it under
your name.
Although I am not home, we can still make the deal through ebay. I have
a purchase protection program with them (Condition Guarantee by Seller
Program), so ebay will guarantee up to $20,000 for any vehicle I sell.
Shipping is already paid, as I explained, my buyer changed his mind
after I have made the arrangements to ship the car. The trucking company
would not refund me but can ship the car to anywhere within continental
US (free), so I've left it at their warehouse and it's ready to ship at
anytime. Also, this purchase protection guarantees that the car is
exactly as I described; basically, once delivered, you'll have 5 days to
inspect it at your home and if you decide not to keep it you will get
refunded in no time and they will charge me with the return costs.
So, please let me know if you are agree.
Smooth transaction, fast, safe and secure.
I will wait your decision.
The car is located in Houston, TX.
Some details and options:
Mileage: 7820
Body Style: Coupe
Color: Red
Cylinders: 6 Cylinder

PS: Unfortunately I can't speak over the phone; I sell the car due some
circumstances in my life. I had an accident and I lost my hearing. I go
every day to do treatment here at a clinic. Don't worry the accident
wasn't in the Porsche 911.
I was going to respond with an offer to send her $20,000 and she could send me back the difference
, but just before hitting "send" I deleted it.
