Don't be so skeptical; he said the first buyer with cash gets it!

Get ready to wire that money, pronto!

LOL, I really wish people would crack down on these type of scams...I would do it myself if there were no consequences.

I can't imagine there is one single porsche enthusiast that is lacking enough common sense to fall victim to one of these scams. They should focus on Honda owners lol

That is one of the greatest ad claims ever: 2 mechanics checked out the car and 'found no aftermarket parts!' Okay, but what else did they find? Does it run?
