This guy sounds like my little brother: He stole a Harley one time by leaving the car he drove up in (which was, itself, stolen) running in the biker's driveway while he "Took it around the block to try it out." He was lucky the Cops got him first-The biker turned out to be a PAGAN!! This guy sounds like the Picaso of scams. I wonder if he could be back scammed. I know of an '84 928 auto sitting in an auto yard near me. (See Pix) I could pick it up for maybe $500. A neighbor of mine has a garage with a paint booth. Paint it up, fix the insides, get the engine running and sell it to him---tell him I need at least $4k in cash to pay off my 'staff'.
What do you think? Is he egotistic enough that I can reel him in??

Also saw his rap sheet and con artist pages & if you google him they pop right up. Can't believe he's still walking around and nobody's arresting this guy. How many 928's and other cars in his "collection" are stolen!!!??
Seller beware! God I love Rennlist. You can't make this stuff up!

Strikemaster: Dude maybe you should do that and sell that here on Rennlist. You just did 90% of the work that is needed on the car.
If it was a 1986.5 I would have instantly asked you to do it for me.

Just doing my due diligence before proceeding with an international sale.

Cash....I had a situation where I was worried because the truck was on the way to pickup the car...I said no way to a wire transfer because they can be reversed. The buyer put the full purchase price in my account at a BAC branch in Brooklyn in hard currency after my boss/wife consulted with BAC and it worked in this case. It was awhile ago see what your bank says.

Wow indeed!
Not with this guy, but about 25 years ago as a young bank commercial loan officer, I had brush with a similar type fellow. A man came in with some "railroad bonds" he claimed were issued back in the 1800's by a railroad that eventually became part of the Union Pacific. He claimed they were very valuable and wanted to pledge them as collateral for a sizable loan. I told him I'd have to research them, since they had no CUSIP number, to determine if they had any market value and would get back to him. I was ultimately unable to verify their authenticity, denied his loan application, and I never heard from him again. A couple of years later, the local OKC paper had an article on a guy going to prison who had scammed several local banks into making loans secured by worthless "railroad bonds" that had been purchased as a novelty item in some gift shop! Talk about dodging a bullet, lol.

Jarrod,
Clearly you are a Wise man indeed! - "Chance favours the prepared mind".
In the UK we have an expression "A fool and his money are easily parted"- clearly you had some fools in your local banks- somewhat scary if they happen to look after one's life savings!
