Default European buyers beware: the scam continues...

LOL, I can't believe it! Check this out:

http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/sh...e&pageNumber=2

Apparently the car sold (not positive though but it looks like it sold anyways).
I translated the text for your amusement:

"On my friends behalf I am selling this wonderful Porsche 993 2S, stick shift, in Turbo-look with Techart frontlip and turbo wing, 18 inch turbo wheels painted to match the car and with 4 new tires. The car was driven by a true Porsche Enthusiast and was in his private collection and is sold due to private circumstances. The car has been recently serviced. The car is currently located outside of the country and the price is including Dutch taxes, possibly also for germans to take the car to Germany. The car is (exterior and interior) like NEW, with a mileage of 32000km, this is really an investment and a real eye-turner on the street. As far as I know, the car is accident-free. Mileage and history of the car can be verified. Please serious inquiries only." etc etc


Maybe I got something wrong but fore the morepart it should be ok. At least I got a good laugh out of it..DANG someone needs to put an end to this

Asking 54,500 Euro? That's almost $80,000! Someone is going to be surprised and unhappy.....

I think the European Spec Cars do not have loads of stickers in the rear. It is missing the Mobile 1 sticker or whatever oil sticker (mine has a Shell Helix which is starting to peel).

You are right. Euro spec. cars only have one sticker in the engine compartment (+ the mobil 1 sticker). Definately fishy for being a "Euro spec" car?

We should point the new buyer to this thread.. I wonder if the domestic saturation of this thread lead the seller to find other places (mobile.de) to sell??

I love it when people talk about their "collections," especially their "private collection." As opposed to what, their public collection? Does this guy think he's running a car museum or something? Can we buy tickets to see the public collection? What are the visiting hours?

Jackass car flippers do this all the time to try to obscure the fact that they buy and sell cars for a living. "Oh, this early 911S was in my collection, but I found another 911 that I simply must have in my collection, so this one unfortunately has to go." All of which is a trumped-up and deceitful way to describe basic buying and selling. What a bunch of garbage.

For the C2S in question, I wonder what else comprises the seller's "collection"? Probably an old bicycle and a Honda Civic. You're a real Jerry Seinfeld, douchebag.
