its a scam. He says its in new york with him. Ask him if you fly to ny you can see and pick up at same time. Do this and he wont email you back. I've seen scams like this before and I ask to go and see the car and they alway stop responding or avoid the subject of me going out and see the car.

 

I'd check every panel for a 'Katrina Water Line' if you know what I mean, Vern. But chances are, the water was three feet over the roofline. I think each foot of submersion is equal to at least $2000 worth of depreciation

For every scammer on this earth there is a person dumb enough to believe.

To the thread starter:
LOL if you have to ask. In this day and age? Come on...use your head. EVEN if he was DYING for the money because some loan sharks were going to get him wacked in 24 hours, he could easily trade the car in and get raped at the stealership for more money than $9K.

If it sounds too good to be true holds in most cases. If you don't believe me go on cars.com and there's a AWESOME deal for a 2002 911 turbo for $7,500. Pick it up and let us know how the car is.

Good luck and use your brains next time.

 

Why don't you send him the money and find out. And don't forget to write and tell us about it.

It's a scam.

 

Ask him for the VIN numbers for that G and have him do a carfax report and send it to you, lets see if he still want to sell it after that.

 

I think you are right... stay away from this one.

 

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was wondering about what that car would normally blue book for. Like everyone else has said, it's probably too good to be true. It might be fun just to screw with the guy and play along with him for a while.

 

Don't do it. It's a scam. Read his letter again and you'll several signs of shadiness. Questions to ask yourself:

1) The car's not physically there? Why the inconvenience (or why is it so coincidental)?
2) Spelling and grammatical errors. i.e. "I sell it for my brother wich is out of US". Shouldn't it be "I'm selling it for my brother" and wich should be "which".
3) Relative outside the U.S.? Have you ever dealt with E-bay vendors outside of the U.S.... in particular, from Nigeria, U.K., or Germany? 90+% of those vendors are bogus.

Like everyone's saying, if the deal's too good to be true, it most likely is.
