I found a too good to be true deal. A 10k$ 993. The seller is in the US and wants to sell through ebay motors. Should I worry about this? Like I said, the price is just too good. So I don't know if I should trust this.

Car is located in NYC, but registered in Canada. Is that a scam?

Anyone who would buy a 993 for $10k deserves whatever they get. I would suggest that this would turn out to be a very expensive purchase.

you said it your self. too good to be true.
and if it is true he would have sold the car locally without the hassle of ebay,paper work,broker,shipping, ect

Let me guess...the car is not available for viewing. The car is not up for auction on eBay, but he wants to do payment through eBay for "your and his protection". Classic scam. You know what they say if it sounds too good to be true...

Go buy it now! Forget about the PPI.....go get it now .

I'm going to offer him $11,000 in Nigerian dollars if you don't hurry it up!

Seriously Darth? Think about it for a moment. Even a 993 without an engine and needing a bit of work is worth more then $10K in parts alone.

By the way, some of the other scam telling buzz words to look for:
"I work 16 hours a day. Not often home. But i will ship it to you and you will have 7 days to decide"
"I prefer payment through Amazon. They will release the funds when you are satisfied"
"shipping included"

And the ones you mentioned:
"I just moved to (enter US city here, typically far south) but car is still registered in Canada"

I was browsing for a Merc. ML diesel over the week-end. Got three similar responses from Kijiji and Autotrader ads. And the SUVs were priced borderline to the "too good to be true" threshold not to generate too much suspicion.

Hoping that this would help other unsuspecting shoppers.

As soon as I read the " wants to sell through ebay motors" i ne w it was a scam of course. It is amazing how many people still look at these and think they are serious .. They must be getting better at it.
