Default Z06 for sale??????????

a guy on another website has a 2008 Z06 with only 6,000 miles on it. He only wants $28,900 for the car. He won't tell me exactly where the car is but wants to make a money transaction and then I can see the car. I think I am gonna run as fast as I can...the other way.

That's what I would do...if something sounds to good to be true, it normally is...

Yeah, that sounds like a typical scam from any of the cars for sale sites. Those guys invariably find some idiot who will send them money.

I sure hope nobody falls for that. That would be a very expensive lesson learned the hard way.

He wants you to pay him and then you can find out where the car is and see it. That's funny! Even for scam artist this guy sounds like a total maroon.

Just for sh*ts and gigs I would give him fake transaction numbers etc. It will be pretty funny knowing this guy is running back and forth to the bank ..

I bet if you read his posts carefully they will sound like they were written by a foreigner. That is almost as bad as a company wanting $$ to advertise your Timeshare.
