Rob Posted 27December, 2015 Report Share Posted 27December, 2015 A week or so ago, I ran a Google search for "Porsche 944 Turbo for sale". This one came up, for a 1988 Turbo S Silver Rose, the Holy Grail of 944 Turbos...http://www.quicksales.com.au/ad/1988-porsche-944-turbo-s-silver-rose-coupe-2dr-man-5sp-2-5t-imp/11397012$9,000 - too good to be true, right? So I sent off an email, just to see what happens, and received the reply below, just this morning...Hello,I still have the car Porsche 944 for sale and I am ready to let it go. The car is in perfect condition, exactly as you see in the pictures. No mechanical problems, no leaks, no rust, everything is in very good order. Title is clean and clear, no accidents. I have to sell this car as fast as I can because in two weeks I will be in Afghanistan and I think I'll stay there for a while, that's why I'm selling it so cheap. Currently I'm in a military base and the car is here with me. I can ship for free anywhere in Australia if you want to buy it. I will appreciate if you let me know your decision as soon as possible, I must sell the car in the next two weeks, before my deployment.I attached some photos and let me know if you like the car.Best RegardsClassic scam, according to my reading and BS meter, just wondering how far to go with a response... Any suggestions?Here's what I sent:HiLooks great, when can I have a look at it? Prepared to travel to see.RegardsRobHere's the response I received tonight:Hello again ,As I mentioned in my previous e-mail at this moment I am in RAAF Base Tindal, NT military base, getting ready for Afghanistan, and I have the car with me. I'm in a special training program before my deployment and I am not allowed to get out of the unit or have visitors.I can ship the car to you without problems using DHL Express from army transport and logistic system. You will receive the car along with all the documents.As for the payment I can start a transaction through DHL Express. All I need is your full name and address so I can contact them and after that they will contact you to explain the entire procedure without any obligation to buy it or fees.They act as a third party and will protect both of us in this transaction.You'll make the payment in an DHL Express managed trust fund! After that, I send it over ( the car will be delivered with the title, owner's manual, service records, and of course the bill of sale authorized and signed by me). You will have 7 days inspection period on it from the day you'll receive the car, you can inspect it, take it to a mechanic to check it out, ride it and then if you decided to keep it, you'll confirm to DHL Express the sale. If by any reason, you will not be satisfied with the car ( even though I can assure you that it is exactly as described, in excellent condition), you can return it at my expense for a full refund of your money, no hidden or extra cost for you. So, this is not a blind transaction, you can see it before committing to buy and to eliminate any concerns you will have7 days to inspect it and I think this is more than fair for both of us.I tried to explain as best I can but if you have further questions do not hesitate to contact me. I will wait your details (full name and shippingaddress) if we have a deal.Here's what I sent back:HiJust a little curious about the registration number - Just ran a Qld rego check on the number plate - 17TCB - it belongs to a 1999 Mercedes-Benz S430 sedan. What's the story here?ThanksRob poetry911, GUT, PatGF and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the story here?ThanksRobthere was a similar scam on a 76 930 a few months back. Almost the same script. Bored at work one day I thought I'd string him along abit asking him how big his gun was, how many 'fit' lads were in his regiment - stuff like that. After about the third reply got abit bored of that aswell and just wrote back..."Mate, you're a dick"to give him credit he did have the vin of a 76 930 though LeeM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 27December, 2015 Report Share Posted 27December, 2015 Talking about this one last night with GusTv. I had assumed all gen 2 turbos were PDK but turns out they did have a manual option. If this one checks out its potentially a quite rare car. Price is also good for a gen 2.http://carsales.mobi/cars/details/Porsche-911-2009/OAG-AD-12237394/?WT.z_driver=RecentCar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so , the bubble has popped on a global basis. Just because they are advertised , doesn't mean they sell , as many of you have observed. symsy and LeeM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
