And make sure you don't give them your home phone number or your house will get robbed. Guaranteed.

Does that summarize the 3 pages from earlier in the week?

"After that year they started with water cooled engines, less sound (less fun), easy to drive (all these electronic helpers)...they built something for housewives not the for real men!"

Oh yeah, this guy is a real advertising genius. Puhleeeze!

If this were a serious seller I'd absolutely agree but for a scammer the pitch is actually not that bad and without all the misspellings you'd expect. Unfortunately for him the vague description of the actual car and the low price give it away. My scam alerter is flashing big time.

Maybe he and 95 C4 993 are casing houses together like in the other thread.

BTW, the phone # is a Fax #.

Default Wrong!

'97 (...evereone knows this was the last year...) was the next to last year for the air-cooled cars. This seller is obviously a real expert

Are you sure this one isn't legit? Seems like the last 'great deal' ad was from FL but photos showed tree covered rolling hills in background. This one says WI, so we should be seeing palm trees and an ocean in the background... but wait, isn't that pampas grass visible in one photo?

Should be easy enough to verify, the phone number is for the mayor of the town.

But if it is a hoax on the mayor they screwed up. Why list the fax line when you can make someone have to field the calls by listing his office number?
