I'll go halfsies with you on the 4S!!!
I saw an Audi Allroad a while back asking like $6500 - which is kinda possible - I emailed them and at least got a good story with it - woman divorced, can't drive standard wants to get rid of car. Ask to see it, magically, she had to drive it to Montreal for a new job. I have relatives in Montreal, ask where car is, now she's in Ottawa...

AutoTrader has been inundated with these scams in the last few months.

I'll take both of them.....I have a draft for $100k, just deduct pruchase price and wire me the balance......

I just told them I'll pay cash if I can come pick it up. I'm expecting no reponse.

Any time there is not contact phone number, it's a scam. Who in their right mind sells a car without contact information. Pass.

The default setting for their webpage code should be FULL information or the process doesn't go any further. They are plain and simple - a lazy company. It's easy code to write. It's easy to configure the logic for flagging scams's based upon IP addresses and where you want the ad to run. It's child's play in fact. But can these morons figure it out? Nope. I'm willing to bet they went outsource for their coding / development and have no one in house who knows how to fix these issues. The CFO asks how much to 'buy' the update, hears the numbers, looks at the revenue stream, shakes his head 'no' and says 'buyer beware' - maybe when the economy picks up... Seen and heard it all before.

Agree. Had some fun last year with a guy selling a 997 Turbo for $50,000

These scams aren't limited to p's, if it's too good to be true ....

Since they've been doing free ads, the number of scams seems to have skyrocketed. Problem is, you can spot them a mile away. The scammers are so stupid. At least make the asking price somewhat realistic. I saw some RS4's for under $20K when I was looking for one.

I'm sure these are scams but they can ask anything they want to draw inquiries. They don't have to sell for this price. This has been used in toronto real estate........

i am unaware of the tru value of a 1996 911, but the 1st add in the OP looks to have a Victoria Stars Licence plate cover.... which is a MB dealership in the KW (Kitchener/Waterloo) area.

they often hijack a photo from another ad and use it in theirs

Sultan

lol, man I thought the mobil 1 smell in my interior made me insane... Had no idea trader went free, that fully explains this nonsense. This kind of stuff appears on kajiji and gregslist all the time cuz those are free postings too.

AM993

There is no way I would pay $14,200.00 for this particular '96 993: according to the description in the add, it comes with CUP HOLDERS
