Default '01 C4 6speed w/ 25k mi in Nashville; $15.8k

This ad was in the Nashville (The Tennessean) classifieds this morning:

*** I know NOTHING about either the car or the owner***

'01 911 C4, Blk/gray, 26k mi., 6-speed, AWD, yada, yada, yada, priced to sell fast.... $15,800!

Contact info 931-388-1003 or wplus394@gmail.com

Again, just passing along a classified ad, FYI.
Might turn out to be a great winter car for someone.

Sorry. I mean the guy may try to "Roll" you. As in bait ya and then the story is not true. A 2003 or 4 c4 996 was on Craigslist for 25,000 on friday and an auction. Do a search and ya may find the thread.

911 C4's with any miles do not go for 15 Grand unless it is a fire or wrecked car...or the lump is blown.

There have been 2 incidents like this on Long Island

Newsday.com
Police: LI Porsche-scam robbers strike again
8:28 AM EST, December 8, 2007

BALDWIN, N.Y.

Police say robbers who use an online offer for a Porsche as bait have snared a new set of victims.

Nassau County Police Detective Lt. Karl Schoepp says the latest victims made a deal to buy a 2002 Porsche for $44,000 after spotting the offer on the online clearinghouse Craigslist. A Craigslist spokeswoman didn't immediately reply to an e-mail early Saturday.

Schoepp says a group of five men _ one with a gun _ beat the two would-be buyers when they went to pick up the car Thursday in Baldwin, on Long Island. The victims had been told to bring $22,000 in cash, but Schoepp says they surrendered only $50 before getting away.

Police say a Pennsylvania couple was similarly assaulted late last month after driving to Freeport to seal a deal on a Porsche. They had also spotted an offer on Craigslist.

If it smells fishy and swims like a fish...price is too low for a 'complete' running Porsche.

I just received the following reply from the "seller" with photos attached. I can't post all the photos here but if anyone wants them just PM me your e-mail and I will e-mail the photos:

"I apologize for delay, I was on duty.
the car is still for sale,Always garaged,non-smoking vehicle,was ordered by the original owner without the badges/lettering. It is an option to remove the lettering/badges and he wanted a cleaner look with no lettering junking up the car. I agree with this, and was one of the reasons I bought the car. I don't like badges/lettering, I like a cleaner look.
has never been repainted, nor had any body work of any kind, nor ever been in an accident
has 18x8" in front on 40's; 18x10" in rear on 35's. Brand new rubber: Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, got 225/40-18 Front; 265/35-18 Rear,
I have the original rims and tires also, have no gouges or scratches, and the rubber has about 60% tread left. They are not Winter tires, but would simply be an extra set of wheels/tires if you wanted them. They are the original style of wheels that came on the C4, which were the turbo twists.
MB Quart's which were professionally installed, as was all the stereo equipment. .The new head unit stereo is a Pioneer DEH-P8MP.There is an iPod adapter.There is a K40 radar that was installed on the car when I bought it.
brand new floor mats, black mats with Porsche lettering ,heated seats ,dual power seats,headrest crest,3-Spoke steering wheel,
colored wheel crests,car cover with lock,Aluminum handbrake,Aluminum pedals,Aluminum gauge rings
There were some errors in the ad , I am located in Indiana , the car has 14000 miles. Clean title, I am the 2nd owner,
I look for $18,500. Selling lower due to a divorce .I have to move fast and I have no other alternative.
You can come and pickup, or I will arrange shipping .I agree to grant you an inspection period.
I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible, because I would like to complete the transaction before holidays,
Thanks
Jim

The car is still disgustingly low in price for something that has those upgrades.
