Be cautious of scammers! If you are asked to send Zelle, Paypal, or even gift cards it is likely a scam. Be smart and talk on the phone and trade real photos. Check every profile and never do business with a member who joined less than 6 months ago.

Z scam ?

I like how the poster flipped the photo in a couple of the ads and resized the photo, too.

 

The area code for the number posted in several of the ads is for the northern part of Kansas.

I'm pretty sure a Western Union wire transfer to the Bank of Nigeria is part of the sale.

Do any of you wonder what happened to the days when scammers used to put real effort into their scams so you could at least appreciate the amount of effort they put in to relieve you of your money

But, it does have the original "saddle" in original condition.

I saw that also, very good selling point. Usually the saddle is worn on most 240z's.

That car ad showed up in my area as well.

 

I bet the guy at the other end of that phone number isn't very happy right about now...

Regarding the presumed-legit eBay car... perhaps it just me but there is something fundamentally wrong with a white interior in a Safari Gold car.  The black engine bay is a usual giveaway for a color change and I certainly admire Safari Gold (no guesses why) but the combo just doesn't work for me.  Oh well, opinions are like belly-buttons - everybody has one.

There's about 10-12 ads of the same car in my area as well... if it seems too good to be true, it probably is

Somebody posted about it on Hybridz also but they moved it to their Tool Shed for some reason.  Had some more details.  Looks like the old "wire me the money and I'll have the car shipped scam".  I felt the draw of one of those way back when I was first looking.  Low price, need to sell", in the military (lends respectability), can't communicate directly, etc.  All of the signs.
