Scam or what?

**luckyg817** · 03-06-2015

A few things wrong right off the bat here guys. Clearly non supercharged and paddleshift on an 04 with 5 button dic? Don't look right. Now I don't care if it's NA or that it's a later year but i'm going back and forth with the guy trying to get the facts right. It's a car for my girl and I want to make sure we're not getting set up or I find anything weird down the line. It looks pretty clean and well maintained but looks can be deceiving. What do y'all think?

Has lots of higher end options and no blower...

**Iceman6669** · 03-06-2015

That is a CompG without the blower... Maybe it was top swapped the dumb way? Ask about motor swaps.

You're right. Didn't notice the monsoon speaker on the dash. But also look at pic 2 and 4. Paddleshift disappears doesn't it? and also a watermark on pic 2, when I type in that address, it takes me to a car part page.

Engine bay is not silver, so they took a picture off the internet for the engine.

All those pictures were taken off the internet, see the familycar.com watermark.

Email and ask for real pictures of the car.

says mileage is 160k in header, than 140k in description.

Fishy fishy.

**luckyg817** · 03-06-2015

I'm texting the guy right now. Told him I want to see some pics of the interior and motor beforehand. I'm supposed to go sunday afternoon.

Not worried, i'll be packing...

**Travisgt2** · 03-06-2015

Those pics are not of that car

**chris99gtp** · 03-06-2015

I wouldn't even bother looking at it.

**GT2001Aurora** · 03-07-2015

A lot of dealerships sell their cars on craigslist which is what this looks like. Sounds like you have a bad gut feeling and so do many others so don't do it if you continue to have this feeling. Nice looking no doubt, perhaps after getting a close up and a test ride you'll have a better feeling then offer $2000 figuring you'll dump $3000 to fix a few things. Also consider this, the description of the car is written with poor grammar, no punctuations, etc. Sort of tells you something about the owner/seller.

Most likely car is at a dealership and dumbass salesman is using stock photos for craigslist. I would think the 1st pic is legit and possibly 4th.

**buickman104** · 03-11-2015

Let us know what happened.

**luckyg817** · 03-12-2015

I ended up not going. It was close to an hour drive and he only sent me a pic of the motor but not interior. Figured it wasn't worth the drive. He did make another ad though. Just seemed kind of fishy and went with my gut feeling not to go.
