I drove a Spyder over the weekend, and it was fantastic. No affiliation, but I came across a super-low mileage 987 Spyder on SF Craigslist - https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/6031085147.html
6MT and less than 300 miles. Crazy.

I've already insured...booked a nonrefundable flight....and arranged finances and left a deposit for this car. Seller gave me his word he would sell for the agreed price but I guess that wasn't enough.
The search continues I guess. I'll be PMing those of you who sent me options here shortly.
Thanks guys. Kind of bummed/disappointed.

Yeah, he's not a rennlister (that's his first post above) but it's super scummy. I don't care that he gets to keep the car (If that is even true, which I doubt) but his word isn't worth a dime and he certainly isn't upstanding enough to make amends for wasting someones time/effort/money.
It is what it is, for the best I don't buy a car from someone like that.

Wow, Sorry to hear the seller backed out. Looked like a great example. Just as many say, you are buying the seller as much as the car...in this case it was so true. Wife had a change of heart on a 300 mile car? Seems unlikely...He probably found another buyer that offered more...Hopefully he at least isn't balking at refunding your deposit..I would also ask for airfare....although he probably won't do it. Good luck with your search.

I'm not getting my time back but if you're going to be that way at least own up to it and cover my flight expenses. It'll come back around in some way, I lose here but I'm sure something better will make its way to me. Ess Muss Sein, or so they say!

I'm curious on the mileage of that Spyder, did you see a picture of the odometer to confirm? I have seen lots of cars listed with low miles so they pop up in searches and then they spring the actual mileage on you after the fact. Very frustrating.

But I don't want to talk about that car/him any longer. It's depressing at this point.
