I think we should all reply to every version of the add with the following email –

Hello dear sirs:

My name is Kareem Salami and I deeply desire to enter into an agreement to acquire your vehicle. However, due to our position as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot acquire a vehicle of this impressive statue in our names. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues to look for an Overseas partner INTO whose ACCOUNT the sum of US$31,000,000.00 (Thirty one Million United States Dollars) WILL BE PAID BY AUTOMOTIVE TRANSFER. Hence we are writing you this letter. To facility the transfer of such a large sum of funds I will need your assistance and a fast car. If you ship the Porsche to a secret location my colleges will fill the compartments with cash for you to deposit in your bank account (please forward all account information so we can verify that you are indeed legitimate and so we can verify when the funds have been deposited).
In due course you will transfer 80% of the funds to an offshore account in my colleagues name, you may keep the balance as your fee for service.

Oh yeah, we want to keep the 944 also – so we will up the cash stuffed into the car to $31,004,300. Please make sure the belts have been done recently and the gas tank is full.

As the old carney worker said, "There is a sucker born every minute". Some poor slob is going to fall for this scam.

Cheers,

the interesting part is:
Who's car is that really? Unless he photo shopped everything, that is someones car.
It would be weird seeing your car for sale by a criminal!
