2008 Porsche Turbo for $35k!? This is either a Nigerian scam or something similar. How can any scammer selling a car get away with it...I mean, don't they expect the buyer to want to SEE and DRIVE the car beforehand?

Don't worry, I wasn't planning on buying a Porsche. It just caught my eye, and I wondered who'd fall for a scam like that forking over money without seeing the car in person. Who'd even waste their time taking it seriously...

Hey Guys,

I kind of am in the search of a car after getting a good deal off kijiji. I came across so many nice deals but when I try to contact the person that is selling the car the always want to go through ebay and assure me that I will have the car for like 5 days to test drive it for me that is scam, but you can still get a nice deal off there I scored a Nice 2004 Mazda 3 Gt that my dad bough for 6k.
