Miami? It's probably full of bullet holes from being used as a shield in some shoot out with DEA. Hehe...

If it smells fishy, it probably is. Did anyone see the red and blue warning at the top of the page or was everyone fixated on the car's price? My guess is there is some cockamamie story behind this car - owner is overseas, etc. Just a scam to relieve someone of their money because they let their greed get in the way of their common sense. People who own expensive cars don't just give them away.

Proceed with caution.

"I live in Asia but the car is in the US and titled in the US, you send me a money order and I will ship the car to you"

Way to obvious.

The only thing wrong is that it's not in my garage

So.. Who gave them a call? what did you learn? (yes, I am too lazy to call myself)

It's been flagged now.

You know, I responded to an AutoTrader add for a 911 some year's ago. The price was "too good to be true" - but I was curious. It went South and quick. Basically a bait-and-switch or Nigerian type scam but with a Porsche instead of a bank account of money.

Craigslist is full of this stuff. Nothing new, its just another iteration of the same old scam.
