anyone that tries to get you to pay via ebay "secure" checkout when the item is not being sold through ebay is scamming.

 

Carfax is not a sure thing. I had a serious accident when a lady rammed my SLK32. 18K worth of damage and it never showed up on carfax.
The best way is the way you already suggested. Have them do a PPI at the local Porsche dealer.
Sounds fishy, but good luck

 

I would run away as fast as you can from this "deal".

 

it's a total scam... lots of these going around Socal as well... run away from it...

 

Go check with some Porsche dealers in your area and see what they have under their CPO program. Unless I knew the owner I would have a hard time buying from a private party. Parts and labor too $$$ at stake to make a hasty decision.

 

If he really wanted to sell the car, couldn't he go to any dealership and offer a cash sale? Even with the crappy economy, any dealer would be insane not to take the car (assuming its in good condition) for 10k under blue book.

 

I say scam, but let us know if it proves otherwise, good luck and be safe with your money.

 

Send me the link...

 

Looks to be a scam. The city says Stockton, CA and the phone number is not an AZ number. If the car is really in AZ, tell them to bring it here for a free independent inspection.

 

Ebay does not hold any money for 10 days - they never touch the funds actually - they are not a trust company, just an auction company... Definitely a scam - RUN!

 

thats what i suggested earlier, didnt get a reply

i knew it had to be a scam but was suprised how much info he gave me, name, address, vin and offered to let my friend come and check it out at his address

 

they make these scam sites under these huge corporation names, like EbayFinancial.com and it would look legit but then BAM u get scammed

leave this guy alone, sounds like a scam

what crazy person wouldnt take cash as a form of payment

 

100% Fake
Tell him you bought a ticket and will be there in a few hours. See what he says. Keep strining him along, ask him to come pick u up at the airport. Make him pay

 

tell him you will send him a chk for car plus an extra 10k but to western union you back only 6k for his troubles
