I have lots of burner SIM's for my job (telco testing, not drugs). Any suggestions? I am guessing this will be the usual "I work on an oil rig" scams. I’m thinking he/she will be trying to get someone to pay a deposit to secure the car for inspection or collection after the lockdown ends. Would be pretty easy to buy a prepaid SIM and create an email address and carsales account. Not sure how you could waste his/her time but I’m all for it.

I can just see a rear most one.🤷♂️ But I was going to offer my services to check it out, alas it looks like a dud add. 1 hour ago, Yeatesy said: So I was just checking the PCV website and saw that 996 advertised by a club member, different name & phone number to the advert on Carsales so I’ve sent him a text to let him know. Bloody scammers are everywhere 🤬 The last time I reported a scam add to CS it was ignored 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted 2September, 2021 Report Share Posted 2September, 2021 The legit ad by the PCV member appears to be a good buy at that price. Maybe the attention brought by the scammer will help with it’s sale. Hope so. Yeatesy and Joz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it would be a very hard re-sale - even if it was mechanically perfect - nothing is going to change: 1 - Colour Change. 2 - Fire history. 3 - Written-off status. 1. and 2. not such an issue IF (large IF) it was a collectable - Look at the $$ g-body 911s are getting despite being rebuilt or a different colour but #3 is impossible to change and hard to insure. It'd be reasonable buying to turn into a track car in the 7's. 5 hours ago, mc968cs said: I don’t think it would even make a decent track car. Too much Grand Tourer in its DNA.

Savannah photos never look great. Bit I don't think I've ever seen one in the 'flesh', so have often wondered if the reality of that colour is better than the photos suggest.

Even if you paid the right $$$ = you'd still have to dump $$ to even get close. If you wanted a track car - its always better buying someone else's project..... they burnt the $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
