Adios, I am buying a 1997 Carrera S!!!
Yep, I am! 33k miles all for $9,000.
Saw an ad on the internet, asked for information. At first I thought it was too good to be true, but it is true. Yipee. Can't wait to send my 40% deposit
and here is the response the seller sent me. Only question is how come it came up as being 15 miles from my zip code?

At first, I thought you were really leaving the 944 world, Tom! Yes, a couple of months ago I almost bought a 1986 RUF 911 Turbo for $7000!
If nothing else, these scammers at least give us a laugh from time to time.

Sorry, but you'd be lucky to see the car ot your 40% deposit, it just sounds like a scam, however you may end up with a bargin and good luck to you if you do. But its a $3700 gamble, will they hold hte money in escrow while you check the car out. There's loads of Quad/ATV's on e-bay offering a similar deal. Be Careful

Anxiously awaiting her reply...

the best lines are the ones from the recently or to be divorced spouse who has possession or title to his/her "toy" (car, boat, plane, jewellery, condo, etc.) to unload at anyprice ........
sad thing is that sometimes these are true! I was in a retired "receiver manager" office once when he took a call and bought a boat for $112K - that he had tried unsuccessfully to buy the year before for $250K. The seller just happened to be the receiver for the owner's bankrupcy proceedings!
