Bummer. I had a feeling it wouldn't be kept up for long. I should have taken a screenshot.

In a nutshell, it was a picture of a 2008 911 but the description was obviously of a minivan.

It had a phone number with an area code I've never seen. It was probably an attempt to fish for email or phone numbers.

LOL! I would have totally bit and, using my anonymous email address, had him chomping at that bit.

Obviously it's a scam but check out how funny the ad is before it gets flagged!

Oh man! I’ve been looking for a Porsche Minivan with remote sliding door and ample cup holders

The scam I've seen lately on multiple CLs is for a 2013 black 911 C4S for $33K. They have non-resident area code phone #s and it's diff # for ea city it appears. They'll have 1-3 pics and a desc that sort of fits but sort of doesn't. Have prob seen it on 5-6 diff CL sites.

If it's too good to be true, it prob is.

That Pastel Yellow one actually looks great.

Here's one on Craigslist that is full of 'red flags'.
https://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/cto/d/wichita-falls-2001-porsche-boxter/7021146858.html


The police officer said that it ran two years ago before it was parked. Is that reassuring?
Maybe at around $2k I'd take a chance.

So let me get this straight. The previous owner "guaranteed the car ran when parked" 2 years ago. The current owner bought new tires, brakes/rotors and a battery, but hasn't started it himself? Yet it supposedly runs because the previous owner guaranteed it ran. Yeah, I'll buy that!

I remember seeing that same car for sale on Craigslist in San Francisco about 5 months ago ..
supposedly from a "collector" ..
I believe selling price was $13 K .. and remember it disappeared/sold in 3-4 days ..
