Looks like we're safe for now.....unless you own or are looking for a Ford GT.

With Carfax or Autocheck, cautious use of Craigslist and other sources confirmed by knowledgeable inspections, who needs a used car dealer?

Or a high-dollar auction?

These comments make no sense at all. A "used car dealer" doesnt offer any more or less you would get from any other venue you buy cars. You are saying Craigslist is somehow "safer?"

"Being lazy" has nothing to do with possibly buying a car at auction or a dealer. You inspect the car at auction or dealer (or Craiglist or ebay or private party, etc, etc) and determine value like you would anywhere else.

Very odd effort to take cheap shots at auctions and delaers for no apparent reason. Someone has an axe to grind.

You bought your 56 from a used car dealer, were you lazy? I think not.

The reason I posted is this scam of "middle man" impacts anybody moving cars. This person now is focused on the FGT but is "linked-in" to ferrair's and other collectable vehicles.

Once they burn out out in those circles they will move to other arreas of high interest...

She is not a dealer, nor does she have any kind of business license. And yes, she is scamming on all types of cars, not just GTs...... Today they are using the SAAC forum to get access to car owners... just a matter of time before they roll through this community..
