Further more, just look at the profile of their Google reviews






This place definitely doesn't look like they're shipping Bentleys overseas. All they did was pay some poor intern or hired a guy off Craigslist to make accounts and leave positive reviews to inflate their rating.

That is not even the same place!
Not having the VINs listed was odd as well.

Yeah- most definitely its bull**** but lets see what comes of it. If you notice the background on every car- its different. Most dealerships will have a consistent shot they take from a branding perspective. These clowns just got a bunch of internet photos together to sell their car.

Not posting the VIN is my biggest red flag.

This has to be all bull****. No way these cars are priced like this and its legit.

agree; q; what is a “soflo scam” other than Southern Florida scam - how does it work in this instance? selling me a crashed CGT or just stealing the money? curious what their scam is.

They want you to put money down such as deposit or maybe even a full transaction if you are really that naive. As soon as you put money down, they disappear and there is usually no way to get them as they are most likely overseas.

Best I can tell is:

This was once a tired little dealership selling tired cars (20 year old BMWs with 120k miles)....just like 100's of other dealerships in So Flo.

They closed within the last 12 months.

Someone is spoofing them now (website using old logo, address, etc) to make it appear company still in business.

Putting "fake" high end cars online at below market prices, but not TOO far below to make it seem 100% scam. Photos are from cars seen online. No VIN, so can't CarFax, etc.

Fake reviews, etc, all part of legitimizing fake business.

I'm assuming scam is....you call/email, they confirm car still available, but getting a ton of interest because priced really good, but they will hold it for you with a deposit....you give $1000? deposit and never hear from them again. Maybe for overseas buyers, they will try and collect full amount via wire.

They appear to be doing poorly here, in that they haven't pressured Yippiekiyae into making deposit yet.

^^^ possibly because already in jail

^^^^^ atlrvr's advice for improving scam is to make 90% of the inventory priced at reasonable (or even slight premium) levels, and 10% at prices to make buyers think they found a deal of the year, and pitch is "bought this car really cheap and still making some money" or "have to clear out some inventory before year end, we bought too much"...or something vague and halfway believable that someone hoping to get a great deal would be willing to accept. Their volume of inquiries goes down, but conversion on duping people goes up. Maybe it's failure of my imagination, but running a money losing venture doesn't inspire confidence though if they said "we're cartel owned and this is cost of cleaning money" then ???

It's your typical website takeover scam... Easy to spot, why let them get traction in this thread?

Lots of ridiculously underpriced supercars on a template-style website and google-images-shows-them-as-a-$500-down-and-drive-dealership is about as obvious as an email letting you know of your vast inheritance waiting for you in some foreign bank.

In this market, any semi-good deal gets snapped up nearly instantly. You'll have better luck buying TSLA at pre-split prices then getting a clean RS for their ask.

For security and insurance purposes(and now as a added buyer benefit) I have dash cam footage of every single mile this car has been driven since brand new.
Gorgeous car, and a new benchmark in GT3 documentation? Would full due diligence involve watching hundreds of hours of dash-cam video? .

That was my thought when I looked at the site a couple of days ago. But the thread posts are good entertainment so carry on.
