Default Turbo S for $100K?

What's up with the Turbo S that hit the Samba this morning for $100k?? Is that legit? Anyone know the car or VIN?

I responded to him within minutes of it going up this am. Full price, no ppi, wanting to get him a deposit and no response yet... I wasn't really thinking it was a real TTS, but that 4s territory these days and it was worth a shot! So far, nothing, but I'll let yall know if he gets back to me!

I was going to get it but I told the guy to sell it to Steve. I hope that means I can borrow it though.

I remember around four - five years ago a silver RHD 10,000 mile, 1 owner 993 GT came up for sale at £175K. It sold within minutes at £190K (too rich for me)..... How I kick myself now

My guess is it was totaled, repaired, then stolen and is now "hot" and offered for sale on Samba.

Reminds me a little of a high end bike (bicycle) I inquired about earlier this year. As soon as I asked for the serial number the email thread stopped cold.

Got this email this morning.

You recently contacted a seller on the site below regarding an ad for:

This ad has been identified as a scam ad. Please do not respond to their emails or requests for payment.
Any further contact from them should be ignored, regardless of the content of their emails.
They have been banned from selling on the site.
