Default Craigslist scam!!! Avoid this car.

Saw this on Craigslsit: http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/cto/1583339889.html

Seller was local so I emailed owner and went to see the car. To my surprise, the car pictured, and the car he was selling were totally different cars. His car was a narroebody 911 with 16" Fuchs. The car in the ad is clearly a widebody with RUF 17's.

If anyone else is interested in this car, keep in mind what your really buying.

I think you may want to check your link. I'm seeing a narrow body car with 16" fuchs.

He must have changed it. Here's the ad he had posted the last few days:

At lease he corrected the ad (wish he would have done it before I wasted an hour driving out there).

Looks like the guy's not a scammer, just a idiot

So he took off the RUF's off. Lot's of folks don't like them. Check craigslist or ebay for a set. He is far more likely to sell it with the original equipment.

He was using photos of someone else's car??? Ya, idiot comes to mind.

I was trying to convince myself that the widebody was just my eyes playing tricks on me with the angel of the shot.

Don't forget the different wail tail, different, front spoiler, and different exhaust. Also, the car in the picture he used is worth twice what his car is.
