Looks like a deal too good to be true...

The phone number for the seller is a fax machine at a hotel. Car's not listed on cars.com. No VIN. Gotta be a scam.

I'm almost positive that this is car #3108. The pics on the registry site show the same center console in body color and the funny mount plate (ipod or traqmate?) on the right side center a/c vent. Last activity on the registry site show it for sale in Virginia a month ago for $109K at same mileage and same copy in the advertisement.

Edit: ebay ad has same pics as the linked ad.

Here's a cut and paste from a good soul over on 6spd.

Not saying it is or isn't a scam...use your own judgment and proceed with caution; as one is located in Napa CA and the other in Virginia...

This is a scam...seems to be a new one going on with Autotrader. I'm not sure what the hook is though. There was a 2006 Cayenne Turbo S listed in Dallas for $29K...I sent e-mail asking for PPI and additional info. Listing was pulled about 4 hours later..If anyone finds out what the scam is, please enlighten us..seems like any request for info sends them running (so what's the point of listing the car?)...

A neighbor had a similar scam happen with a rental property. They list someone elses stuff at below market prices and if you seem dumb enough, they try for a deposit before they disappear.
