Who cares....call find out and if its true, buy it.
This reminds me of one of those commercials where people talk about the fact that someone left the water running, but no turns it off. I'll check on this, because it very well may be someone that doesnt care about the money. I have seen this many times. I bought a 2004 Honda VFR 750 with 3000 miles on it for $1500. The guy was getting a divorce, and he didnt want his wife to get a bunch of money, so he sold everything for pennies. I wish I had the coin for his 2002 Porsche 911, which he offered to me for $20,000.
Worth asking....I sold the bike for $7000.

Well, a black convertible RX-8 with shinka pictures and 54 miles on autotrader for 14 grand... if this is not a scam or a stolen car, nothing is.
By the way, San Francisco's area code is 415. 650 is for the peninsula, down to Palo Alto or so. 843 it isn't - but that part wouldn't worry me because it might be some cell phone. But everything else is wrong.

yeah, i'd definately click on the Buyer's Fraud advice (bottom of the listing page) before giving over any money to this guy. something seems fishy about it.
and as an FYI, 843 is south carolina.

I've seen many posts like this when I was searching for a new car the past few months. At one point I saw a 2004 VW R32 for $10,000. I inquired about the car and got a long email that looks to be prewritten telling me a sob story about how she/he moved to germany because of financial problems and would be willing to ship the car over without any extra charges.
Also, there was another time when I saw a red rx8 for around $12000, with just 5k miles, I got the same reply when i inquired about it.... "I moved to (insert out of reach area) but need the money..." It was a post on carsdirect. I did a zip code search in my area and supposedly this car was suppose to be 25 miles from me, but according to the buyer's reply the car's located in florida.
I feel sorry for people who fall for it.

yup. those are classic fraud attempts that people try to pull on all the online listing sites.
there is a reverse senario of people from out of the area attempting to buy cars that is a fraud routine too.
sadly this seems to be another one.

yeah, ive seen a cherry condition rx-7 listed for about 6k with the ad saying that it was in north carolina, yet it said that the car was good for the texas heat.......
the number ended up being an invalid one and the ad dissapeared within like 3 days of posting.
i just think more scams are being posted up lately, but it was bound to happen; started with ebay, and now autotrader...

2010 Prius - Miss the 8
Let's start posting a bunch of Porsche 911s for dirt cheap on Autotrader, mention it to a guy that is really selling it on Ebay and say.."Hey look, a bunch of people are selling it for cheap, knock down your price a bit to 20k and I'll buy it."
Maybe that's what the guy was trying to pull... making the Shinka lower.
Or, he could be bored and a disgruntled anti-RX8 guy.

well, I heard from my coworker that afriend of his ex-coworker (maybe not true at all) saw on newspaper that there was a Z3 for sale for $500. So he went there and asked the lady why she would sell the car.... and she said because her husband was cheating on her and she would sell the car just to **** him off LOL
maybe any of you live close enough, talk to the seller..... who knows what kind of suprise you will get....
