Why would I think "scam"?

#1 Post by David Jones »

If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

But its so shiny, and easy on gas to boot. How could this possibly be a scam?

Actually David I think you need a winter beater with 4WD: https://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/d/ ... 98490.html It does need a tune up at 15K miles but they have already put in a new JVC CD player.

I like how the cab has its glove compartment sprayed red to match the dash. Probably a factory interim T5/T6 detail.

The seller of the Macan certainly has a command of the English language!

First thing, I can guarantee you those pics were not taken in KY, my guess would be FL or SC, based on the lighting and foliage. That's before you even compare the car and the price. I will say this again, in this day and age, if you find a smokin' deal on the internet and it's been up for more than an hour, it's a scam, and even if it's not you should proceed like it is, because it is. I haven't bought a car off the internet is at least 5 years and I buy more 356's than most, that should tell you something.

I agree with Adam the red car doesn't look like Kentucky. I say Idaho based on the license plate on the Benz in the garage.

"This is an extremely car!!!" I've said that a few times about my cars. Since this is a family based forum I will kindly leave out the missing word(s) I typically use. :wink:
