1969 Porsche 911 T Coupe

I found this car last week and have been in touch with the seller. He/she responds pretty quickly, and even says sure, come on out and check out the car. So, i was thinking well if he's inviting me out there, he's either gonna rob me or he actually has the car! ill go with the assumption he will give me the car for the money rather then just flat out steal my money. But I've given him my number twice and he says he will call me. i have told him my name several times, and he doesn't feel the need to give me his name or number.

So, I'm no idiot, its gotta be a scam based on some simple spelling mistakes and the fact he will not talk over the phone or give me an address the car is at.

Oh well, would have been a smoking deal. ill keep dreaming. Anyone else see this car floating around?

Cheers,
Farrell

Easily a scam, but most certainly not because of spelling mistakes.

Aside from the fact that he might have been typing in a hurry on a crappy phone screen keyboard, a vast majority of people make such mistakes. I wish I had a penny for every misspelled word I read on the internet forums.

Quick Google image search on the CL ad pic. Banned on another forum as a scammer

Write him back and ask for an appointment to see the car. Ask him to specify a time and place.
Maybe he has telephonephobia. I would keep pushing until I was certain it was a scam.

Works well weeding out scammers

Those aren't speeling mistakes. That isn't quite pidgen, but English is not his first language. Not a sure sign of a scam, but a good indicator.

Expecting luck from CL postings , you must be getting desperate !
Any real deal over there would have picked up within hours by the flippers.

Time to step away from the market and let it consolidate ....

No i agree, its not the worst, the biggest thing is that he clearly doesn't want me to come see the car.

I generally scan through CL because I'm a sales rep and travel to 14 different states throughout the midwest and i usually have a cargo van with me, so i always keep my eyes peeled, but this car was definitely high hopes.

I want a newer car anyway, 993 or 964...

[NYNick]

I'm sure it's not the first time I've seen this car for sale.
Not surprising he's not responding.

PM'd Farrel, I might have a 964 for you!
