Warning on this car...

Porsche 911 | eBay

The seller does not post the VIN number in his ebay listing. He does have a partial VIN in his description. I emailed him several times and he finally sent me the full VIN. This is the VIN:WP0EB0919GS171310 What a shocker its a branded Salvage title.

IMO this seller is a scumbag and I wouldn't deal with him. He is seeking a VERY high price for the car and he is representing it as ..."“THIS IS A TIME MACHINE ITS PERFECT. ALL ORIGINAL."... Now I don't think any used car is "perfect" but clearly one with a salvage title is not all original or perfect.

A quick search didn't get me the results I was looking for, but this car has been posted before. They have been trying to sell that thing for several months without success.

At the price they have it posted for its not going to sell any time soon. I take it they're waiting for some sucker who doesnt bother to do a title or VIN check and who takes it in their word that its a "perfect" car.

Ebay auction says "Clear" title. That's fraud if it has a salvage title or salvage title history.

So report it to ebay and watch them do absolutely nothing about it.

Scammers and eBay seem to have a co-dependent relationship.

Between people 'scrubbing' their feedback; flipping to alternate account names until their negatives time out at 12 months, and closing auctions early to sell direct (or worse, letting you win and then telling you 'oh, sorry, my assistant failed to stop the auction when we sold the car privately'), eBay is a festering swamp.

But, I've had some minor luck there. Generally, it's the venue of last resort.
