Ok - first deposit received - looks like the car is sold, next transfer will be full amount. I am now in the market for a 1996 or 97 turbo with less than 50K, looking for a good deal, so I may have to wait a while.....

Make sure you wait for the full amount before that car goes on the truck, congrats on the sale
Wire transfers only on special circumstances might go back. Someone tell me of one banking scam that invovles an incoming wire transfer, there aren't any, once that wire is in the account it would take almost an act of congress to get it back unless it went into a wrong account number by mistake and both banks agree on its return.

The way things are going you should be able to pick up a nice "shack" in Big Sky in time for the 2008-2009 ski season!!

Well - it is official - all of the money has been wired - recieved - posted to my bank account. The buyer has yet to discuss the timing of the shipping company coming for the car, but all in all it was a very good experience.
One thing I will mention is that the wire from France took 5-6 business days after he initated it. I assume this is now the case with the patriot act slowing things down. I have 2 offers out to other 993's now, and will keep looking. In the meantime, I have parts/upgrades to sell and will start another thread.
Thanks

Well, congrats. Always fun to start the new search. So you are comfortable the money is secure? With so many opinions on what is safe, just curious about the wire transer type of deal.
