Default $88k for 2010 with 10k miles!

Amazingly low price on this silver .2 posted in Autotrader. If you are in the market, this person needs to be contacted asap! Steel brakes, no wart, full leather...

Yeah, that is lower than .1 GT3 prices... Must be something up with it, or the owner is on drugs LOL!

That's what I paid for mine a year ago...

Good deal if true. Don't see the VIN though and when you click on Autocheck it shows the info on a 2005 Chevy instead... So proceed with caution!

He's using the same photos as Wicked Motorworks out of California, yet he is in PA. I'd bet on scam...though if he bought it from Wicked and is using the same photos to flip it that quickly, there is a reason (Wicked has a history of repairing salvage and accident vehicles)

I got excited for a minute.

When I click on Autocheck it shows as a 2012 Nissan Altima.

I have a feeling the car belongs to guy's uncle who is an African prince...

No VIN is all you need to know.

I don't really know how car "scams" work. Perhaps the artist just hopes someone will wire a deposit, and that is enough for the crook to make it worth while, without trying to get the whole price. Just goes to show that this forum is a big help to those, like me, who are seeking a GT3.

Our GT3 is getting closer to being back on the road, perhaps later this month. Will be an interesting drive back the 1000 miles home. I took my daughter's Mini to Charlotte yesterday for a Check Engine light, and left 7 hours later $1700 poorer. Mini's are great cars, lots of fun, tremendous performance, but in the 83K miles my daughter has enjoyed it, this makes about $4K in repairs I have paid to keep it on the road. No wonder they are at the bottom of the reliability scales.

All the best....

the amount of time these scammer put into bad ads that go nowhere is amazing.

It is like they are getting lazy...

lol I wouldn't even sell my .1 for 88k. Granted, it has some work put into it by now, but I digress.... A .2 for 88k is a crock of bull.

Fun story, I had a S2000 CR in the past (number 500-something, not really important), and someone used my car's VIN and some random photos of a S2000 CR in the same color and tried to scam people on Autotrader. Knew it was a scam since my car was not for sale....unless I suffer from dual identity or something....I flagged it but Autotrader never took it down.

Buyer beware! If it's too good to be true....
