Hello hello, Wanted to give you guys a heads up on this post: http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&csDlId=&csDgId=&listingId=114816875&listingRecNum=8&criteria=sf1Dir%3DDESC%26mkId%3D28263%26stkTyp%3DU%26mdId%3D21834%26rd%3D100000%26crSrtFlds%3DstkTypId-feedSegId-mkId-mdId%26zc%3D77001%26rn%3D0%26PMmt%3D1-1-0%26stkTypId%3D28881%26sf2Dir%3DASC%26sf1Nm%3Dprice%26sf2Nm%3Dmiles%26isDealerGrouping%3Dfalse%26rpp%3D50%26feedSegId%3D28705&aff=national&listType=3 contacted the seller, and she eventually responded with this: I'm not willing to touch it since it's supposedly in London, but thought I would make sure the community's cautious about this.. looks pretty suspicious, plus she says it's an 8cylinder with a gas engine?? sounds like a copy paste from another scam. She'll probably want a "deposit" to reserve the car for me.
It's a scam. Certain language matches the scam offers on Cars.com. They use fake payment processor sites for the deposit.
Different country: scam warning!!! My husband died in Iraq: scam warning!!! eBay guarantee: scam warning!!! These scams are pretty widespread, don't fall for it.
Sure, you can be suspicious about those, or alternatively just the "8 Cylinder, Automatic, Gasoline" part...

Its in my will that if I die, I am to be buried with my Roadster. If I find out my wife "got rid of my beloved car for cheap", I will come back to haunt her until that 6th Sense kid can send me packing.
I came across this while going thru the TMC. I saw this exact car at Copart auction sold for $17,900 w/ 7895 miles on it. Buyer (dealer) states that he has purchased this car with unseen but has won it in the auction. He is interested in selling this car after I inquired. I am a very much " newbee" in Tesla cars. Could anyone guide me on this wether this is a scam or real? Should I even look in to it in buying? Any help is appreciated.
It's at Copart again: Copart I think it's just some car to get people to copart, since it has been for auction for like 50 times or so and it's still there^^
supercarnut03, that car has been rotting for quite a while. The likelihood that the battery is bricked is 99.999999%. A new battery will set you back about $38,000. Add in the costs of the other repairs (which won't be cheap) and you can decide whether or not you think it's a good idea to consider buying it.
