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'.

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 get what he was trying to do. Just didn't work.

I'll admit that in my head some things make more sense than they do in reality.

That's the black car that the owner made his own Ztop style fastback. Its been on here before when for sale then. I guess it didn't sell so he's trying this version.

If he was trying to make me sick it worked.

I was kidding some guy in another thread about his dodge Daytona rear wing but this has that one beat for sure. Put some big stickers on there and you could qualify for a dirt track race

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 ..
