Thought I'd pass this on. It looks like the seller is pricing it as if it were an NA.

looks like a killer deal on what appears to be a clean 951 (look @ the coolant and washer reservoirs!)

Buyer beware - seems a lttle too good to be true.

It's a scam. I've seen it posted on CL's in Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

papasmurf

It has been posted on two separate CL sites in texas too...flag the ad...save someone else the frustration in contacting the poster.

Jay W

showed up on stl craigslist as well. I will flag it.

That same car has been posted on Atlanta, Jacksonville, Orlando, and Miami craigslist that I have seen. I have even seen posts from people complaining it's a scam. Just flag it.

Gentlemen, you are correct. The car is a scam. The guy pitches a mean story...lol...Craigslist was notified by me a week ago and yet more posts have appeared from other regions. However you missed a minty 87 turbo for $5500...

944Ross

Still posted?? Did you guys really flag it?

Marcquito

I've flagged this guy more times than I can count.

Jay W

There are now 2 different posts with the same pictures, I flagged both but they are still there. I suppose I am the only one flagging it in St. Louis.

jonvo

it definitely is a scam. i emailed him and he replied,

Hi,

The vehicle is still available for sale, price as stated in the ad $4,300. It's in perfect working order, no damages or scratches, it wasn't involved in any accidents. You will inspect the vehicle before the payment will be made. I temporarily moved in Etna CA, with my work and I have the vehicle with me. All shipping costs and insurance during transportation are included in the price because I won a promotion at DAS auto shippers (1 free shipping+$500). You will also receive all necessary documents in order to finalize the purchase. I am selling the vehicle under market value because I need to pay the bank or they will take my house. Email me back if you're interested and have further questions.

We can deal using eBay.Look how this works:

1. I will contact eBay and give all the info about this deal.
2. They will send us the forms by email - for you about the payment.
3. I will send the vehicle to your location and you will send the payment at eBay.
4. After you will inspect the vehicle and decide to keep it, they will transfer the money into my account.

RETURN POLICY:
If by any reason the vehicle is not as described, or if you find any problems with it I will pay for the returning fees. I'm sure it won't be the case because the vehicle is in excellent condition.
As soon as the vehicle arrives, you will test it and if it does not match 100% to your expectations, you will return it in max. 5 working days since the arrival date. In this case you will send me the vehicle in the same condition you received it.

I prefer to use DAS Auto Shippers for shipping because I was pleased with their services. The estimated time of delivery is 5 days, with no scratches, it is professionally crated.Good faith has always been my top priority and my most valued business approach.

Please provide me with your full name and shipping address so I can register the deal with eBay.

Thanks

I spent a lot of time on Craigslist when I was at my relatives over the holiday. My plan was to find a vintage bike on the cheap and then ship it back home. Old bikes are ridiculously overpriced here, so even if I ended up never riding the bike, I'd be able to unload it without much trouble. My problem with Craigslist, besides the people who waste your time with endless e-mails chains of questions, is that I will never pay full price. It's an affront to my skills as a negotiator to come in and pay the asking price, even if it's entirely reasonable. I didn't find a vintage bike, but I did find a Park Tools truing stand (a big bike tool for straightening wheels) for only $50. I promptly e-mailed the guy and offered him $40, then we spent two days haggling before we agreed on $45. We setup a time the next day for me to pick it up, but on my day off a new buyer swooped in and paid the full asking price. I may have lost out on a great deal for something I actually wanted, but at least I know I'm a much shrewder bargainer than money bags who came in and paid full price.

choinga

uh, OK...you lost a tool you wanted over $5 bucks. Congratulations on being such a great negotiator. I could see if it's like a couple hundred bucks or something, but come on...$5??

If you believe that I have a friend in Nigeria that needs your help.
