$40k??? Someone could flip that for a profit.

Other listings of the same car:

2010 Tesla Roadster
Tesla | eBay

Very weird.

 

[yaxche]

Just heard back from Lawrence Romanosky who listed the car on his website. When I said I wanted to come see the car he said it's already sold.

Why would you list a car for half of the going rate of ebay. Sounds like it might be/was a scam.

 

[yaxche]

Yes, Mr. Romanosky confirmed that the cars.com listing was a scam.

 

[TEG]

Odd coincidence... The cars.com listing says:

About the Seller
daniel

Vehicle Location: Spokane, WA

And on this forum is a somewhat well known user 'daniel' from Spokane...

as the new owner of 561, i can verify that the cars.com listing is some sort of weird/scam. the car is en route from calgary to san francisco.

Ohhh, is that the one that was imported into Canada before Tesla officially launched here? I heard it was going back to the States.

 

[jory]

the car was not imported to canada. it was titled/registered in the US but resided in calgary at the time of its sale.

Ah. Gotcha.

 

[TEG]

Yes, probably - I think it started in New York, then went up north...
