if you read the provisions at the bottom of the ad it says a buy-it-now price of 4800.

Looks super clean. But it's the sporto that kills the resale $$$. If it was a 5-speed, I'll bet the bidding would be up to or over $20,000.

I posted a link to an ad about this car about 6 months ago. Identical pictures (I remember the front license plate holder drooping like that. Probably a scam for the deposit to 'end the auction'. Anyone e-mail the dude?

I love the color combo.

A sporto with a 'new clutch', 'manual transmission' and no clutch pedal.... be careful, the hood doesn't fit well either.

Considering the information above and the fact that the "seller" has only been on Ebay since Aug. 2nd and he "sold" a 1995 Oldsmobile (with no pictures and hardly any description) to someone else with 1 feedback, I would be very, very cautious!

He is selling this 911 because he need more reliable transportation, then why did he get rid of the Oldsmobile?

Heck, that's the only thing that makes sense in all this.

Definate Scam, check out his feedback. He sold a car Sunday with no picture or description for $4,000 and got and left feedback yesterday.

and now the seller has "cancelled" both bids at or above the $4,800 and has requested that they contact him directly.

http://offer.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=260024083202

Very fishy indeed.

It could very well be another ebay scam. I wouldn't buy without looking. So, anybody here from Decatur Illinois? If it's as represented, and the deal is legit? A great buy.

I do not believe they are "retracted by the bidder" they were "cancelled by the seller" with a note to please contact him about the car.

Hopefuly someone here will contact him and ask to see the car.

I could easily dispatch friends with cash in hand for this car in Chicago but just can't be bothered...this just reeks too badly.

Guys,

I've been following this forum for a while so Hello to all. I wish my first post were more positive but I'm pretty sure this auction is a scam. Text and pictures were taken directly from here:

http://cannillomotorsports.com/pastinventory/79911t/79911t.htm

This would be the second early 911 auction I've seen taken from this site in the last few months. The last one turned out to be a scam. Buyer beware.
