You need to get a new model agency and probably new suspension.

Hey guys, just a heads up but those cars.com and autotrader.com scammers aren't getting more bold. I just received the following from one of them via e-mail. I proceeded to phone the person up and he was more than willing to give me the VIN, furthermore I confirmed the address with him and he said "yes I will be there with all kinds of cars, we have a lot of selection". I looked up the place on bing maps and it's just an industrial park!

Good morning Mr.Ross Wesson,

My name is Ryan Davis,I am contacting you from Motors-Department Dealership on behalf of Mr.David Weber in regards to the 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo.We like to inform you that the car is still for sale. The asking price is $21,000.00 nonnegotiable.
Few words about the car it has only 79,638 miles was always garaged and the regular maintenance was done in time,it wasn't involved in any accident and has never suffered any kind of damage also this is a non-smoker car and the pictures bellow confirms everything I said.

That's clearly a SCAM. The pictures of that truck are taken in front of Alan Vigil Ford, in Georgia. The website is obviously just a template with no info.

Most scam ads have a first name only and no phone #, these are the ones to avoid. They just downloaded someones pics and information so they can send you pics and provide the VIN from they info they kept. The stupid low price should also be a tip off. The best are the ones that use the same pics in different ads with different locations and names with the same mileage and price so they show up next to each other when you search.

E-mail that you will show up with cash when you pick up the car, and watch them squirm.

Scam, scam, scam.

Now they're asking reasonable $$ for the cars, I saw one listed @$30k for a nicely optioned 02 cab. This was the reply....

[B]Hi Jeff,

The car is still for sale and the asking price is $30,000. The vehicle is located in Orlando,FL and it's registered on my name and the title is clean and clear. It has 35,950 miles.I work in the real estate business and I just sold my house and moved out.This is the last thing I need to sell because I don't need it anymore...I am very busy with my work and I won't not be able to deal in person,but I've already arranged the shipping and the title transfered anywhere in the US.We can use Escrow Management protection program for our safety and for payment I prefer to use an Escrow Management buyer protection plan.The financial part will be managed by them,which means that you will have 5 days inspection period before committing to buy the vehicle and a refund policy will be included.The deal will go strictly according to Escrow Management rules and policy.There are no other costs on this transaction through Escrow Management.

Let me know asap if you want to buy it.

For more pictures copy or click the following link:

Thanks,
Lisa Bickley

P.S: Here's the VIN # WP0CA29982S652881 so you can run a CARFAX Report just to make sure you know exactly what you're buying!!! [B]

Escrow Management buyer protection plan, that sounds problem free......
