Just saw this mentioned on another thread:

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p...

Haven't really kept track of Porsche prices that much but seems a little cheap compared to similar specs out there? Priced to sell or priced to scam?

Doesn't say it's a cat d or anything, or info on previous owners, just curious what they're trading for in general?

Have seen something similar where they say don't contact via PH as the system is not working. In that instance it was a scam.

I would be cautious

A little cheap? More like mega-cheap. Scam or very dubious history for sure. I'd bet my life savings it's not what it appears to be.

Yeah it does scream scam! Was curious what they're actually trading for too

You don't think £20k below is reasonable? ;-)

No, it's fine. In fact, I've bought it! bounce

I've transferred a deposit via Western Union but as the buyer's out of the country I have to deal with their shipping agent - car should be here in the next week or two. I just have to deposit the balance of the money with the shipping company's escrow service and once I've seen the car and checked it over I can then instruct them to pay the owner (or give it back to me if I reject the car). I've never heard of the shipping company before, but from the website it seems legit - what could possibly go wrong?
