1998 993 Cab. Seller says price is $24,999.00

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...:B:BCA:US:1120

Here is the email I got from the seller

Hello,

My name is Konane Parsons and I would like to thank you for contacting me regarding the 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet that I have for sale on eBay. The car is in mint condition.

Few details about the car:
Mileage 54,912
Body Style
Convertible
Exterior Color
Blue
Interior
Color Gray
Engine 6 Cylinder
Transmission Manual
Fuel Type Gasoline
Doors Two Door

The final price for the car will be $28.500 and I will only deliver the car, because I am in the process of moving to Utah and can't meet with you. The car is located in Makawao, HI. at the delivery company. The delivery taxes are included in the price.

I would like this transaction to be done through eBay.
Let me know if this is ok for you and I will offer you more details about the sale.

Thank you.

I smell bull****

Mike

Certainly doesn't look like Hawaii or La Jolla from the photos.

Default Here's what to do

Assuming (small probability) this is a real deal, here's what to do. Tell the seller you will present either a cashier's check or cash (their preference) upon delivery (including clear title) in Hawaii. Fly to Hawaii (only a thousand or so). Enjoy a brief visit to paradise and maybe you'll get the deal of the year.

On Jan. 18th it was in Oklahoma according to the attached Autocheck report. I highly doubt someone would ship a car from Oklahoma to Hawaii just to ship it right back to the mainland 3 months later. The guy is a obvious scammer.

Email him and ask if the price includes the $0.76 in the center console or is that optional...'cause you'd like to work that in on the deal....

(and of course report to ebay as fraud...)

When I was selling my 350Z a f ew years back, i had very similar offers. "I can't make it myself but I'll arrange for a company to pick it up..." & "Use Paypal..." Scam, scam, scam! For those of you buying or selling, Google "Paypal scams" or the like and enjoy your reading.

With reference to this specific car, I'd offer the following: Tell him that you have a buddy in HA who can swing by and check out the car for you and ask for an address. Then sit back and enjoy the back-pedalling!
