Waldo... its great to see photos of him. He still looks great. Some of those photos are old ones that I took several years ago. Does the ad say where he is located?

It was in WA for awhile. I took a few of those pictures. Then was moved to Texas a few years ago. Now it looks like he really has moved.

Well.. It appears as if the car is in Vienna, Austria. Or at least the seller is. My guess is that the car is still in the US and that the seller just took the pictures off an american website and put up the ad in Europe. It says that the price includes registration in Austria, which implies that the car is not yet registered in Europe..

The last time I checked, a few minutes ago, Waldo was still in my garage.

Identity theft perhaps?

not really more just a scam - the scammer finds pix and description of a nice car and then puts up an ad as if the car belonged to them. They will then try and get some (or all) of the money and then disappear.

Or, like they did in NY. Placed an ad in newsday for a porsche at a dirt cheap price, people call and are invited to come take a look/place a deposit, when they get there they are robbed at gunpoint.

Nothing like LI..... Glad I left when I did. Here they don't go through all that trouble. They just hold you up at gunpoint any time.... Porsche not necessary.....

I think the seller, is actually a car importing business.
Which sometimes can be a bit annoying, since they list the cars as they would have them in stock when they are rather on the other side of the pond.
