Seen a few scams when I was looking for my Z. If its too good to be true it prob is. If its dat low of a price a dealer would have gave her the money for it. THATS CHEAP for a z.

I spoke to the 'seller' on the phone- Couldn't tell it is was male/female. They said the car was 450miles from vancouver, and that it used to be in New Jersey.

Add with that a Ca phone number, and the fact that they said they would take cash only, no bank check, no cashiers check.

It seems rather fishy, not to mention it would cost 2k to go get it even if it did exist. I would be very careful with this deal guys. You really want to take 35k in cash to some random place in Canada, and possibly get robbed, buy a possibly stolen car, or watse time if there is no car at all?

With the prices of C6 Z's coming down anyways, you be better off with a no stories US car for mid to upper 30's, with ZERO chance of losing the $$.

I'm passing.

The one in canada? she told me someone couldnt get their loan approved too. so ur gonna buy it out from under me?

I'm not sure the car exists- its looks like a scam- if not good luck.

If they are saying "cash only" then it's a scam. I hate to think what their angle is...

but only a fool carries $35K in cash over the border and/or to a private sale. You could just as easily draw a certified check on the banking institution of the seller's choice, meet at her preferred bank branch and have them verify the funds before transferring title.

Any other way is asking for trouble or the seller is being unreasonably naive/difficult.

I change my vote to "walk away"

You are correct- taking that much cash is dangerous- they could either steal it if its a scam, or even if there is a car, deny they were paid. You need a bank check for proof of payment.

Still havent received a picture of a title in her name or one on the actual car as request......

Yet she responded to my other emails quite fast.

She told me it was from Cali... Hence her number was from Cali...

This has got to be a scam guys... Too good to be true. Only way to tell if its legit is if we have a forum member who is close enough to go check it out...

For this price, the car would've been sold within a few days. The fact that the car is still for sale should tell you it's a scam. She could take it to carmax or a dealer and sell it immediately for what she's asking. She could put a for sale sign on it and have it sold to anyone in a second just to make a profit.

Who's gonna keep a USA cell number in Canada? Way to expensive!

wonder if any bored cops need something to check out. car could be vin cloned. something to be careful of with any private party sale. someone steals a car, takes the vin from a clean similar car, prints a title, prints a vin plate and rips you off for 35k

big money in this stuff and organized crime has the material to make the clones look real

always ask for docs, current registrations and a paper trail of where the car was bought as well as previous owners. also check the vin on the frame or firewall if we're talking other cars for any sign of tampering

the fact that dealers are usually more in tune with current pricing {at least with base cars} and you don't have to worry about being scammed really has shy'd me away from any private party sale without strong docs

O8 for 35k or less???? Damn that would be a steal.

racebum

could be a literal truth

and or a salvage car

I got a very low mileage 08 for 44k a few weeks ago. 35k for one with over 50,000 miles is conceivable. I think that guy with the blue 2008 Z06 in NYC still has his listed for sale for something around 39k.

yellowzron

Does someone have the vin? If you do you can call me,or text me. I check something without getting into detail. 312 388 5828. Curious to know now.

USCPTM

talked to blue 09 in nyc he wont budge on price offered him 35. he told me i didnt understand that that is a z06 not the base model and its a lot of car for you. like idk anything about vettes or own an 09 z06. what a tool

labrick2006

How much did you pay for your 09? Would you take 35k if you were selling? Ill give you 36k for yours.

USCPTM

got it for 41, guy was going through a divorce. from dealer it has corsa extreme, slp headers, was tuned, diablo, stickered at 86,500. was a steal the car is worth at least 50 with 20k miles on it in june of 2012. steal city

reasonable suspicion

Irony? Your car is not worth 50.

Someone had run the phone number and stated it is from Richmond, California. I'm from the area and Richmond is know for crimes and criminals. They usually will ask for the money to be sent via "Western Union."

If someone has photos of the car, please send them to me or post them. Usually, the person gets the photos off of google. You can just do an internet search for "Z06" and look for the pictures you will probably find it.
