subject1991 Porsche 911 Carrera
Hello,
I’m very glad to see that you’re interested in buying my 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera.It has only 46,870 km and the price is $6,500 CAD
It is in perfect condition no scratches,no damages,never been implicated in any accidents,no problems with the engine,runs very well.Reason for selling the car is that I just finished the divorce with my husband and this is one of the things that court left me. I don’t have a driver license so it’s useless for me.
I will use eBay, as I am an afiliate member there and this method allows you to inspect the car before I recive the funds and also allows me to stay confortable knowing that I will be full covered. If you really want to buy my car please let me know asap and I will send you some informations about the deal will works.
Looking forward to hear from you.
I just need your full name and address so i can open a case .(with no further obligation or fees).
Have a great day!

Hello Marie
I have owned a 964 before, and what I am finding a little confusing is the price. Unless there is something obviously wrong with the vehicle i.e. not original, mechanically faulty, rebuilt or worse, I cannot see why it is $6,500.00. Most clean, original models of this type are usually higher in price.
Please confirm.
Just for the record, this email in no way is an offer to purchase, nor is it a negotiation towards a purchase, but merely the tentative enquiries that may lead to further discussions.
Sincerely
Maria Portela again:

Comments:
An obvious scam. The vehicle is well below market value, because it doesn’t exist. Notice the obvious play on sympathy, and how the vehicle is “miraculously” not available for physical inspection. DO NOT BE ENTICED TO SEND MONEY.

At the moment I’m in MONTREAL because i moved to my parents cause i think they are only person who can help me to pass this difficult situation,that is why i gave the car to a shipping company that will ship it to the next owner(on my cost).The price $6,500 it is the total price including title transfer.I have worked a lot with eBay so I’m going to sell my car through them. It’s the only thing that i can put my trust into, 100%.I know that the best deal it is to meet you in person, but believe me, i don’t have time to meet every potential buyer during this divorce process, it is very important for me to win it. It’s important to me to get my son’s custody. Also, i can’t trust anybody in this moment to give my phone number, i don’t want to be taken advantage of just because I’m in the middle of my divorce.I want to tell you that we will use eBay in this transaction in order for both of us to be 100% protected and insured by them.

You will receive the car in 3-4 working days and you will have 5 days to test and verify it. As you can see, you will receive the car BEFORE any money is released to me. If, for some reason, you disagree with the car it will be shipped back to me on MY EXPENSE and eBay will send your money back. You will receive the title of the car with the car, with your name on it.
I hope things are clear for you of the process it is working and I’m waiting for your email.
Have a nice day!
