Default Anyone know this S8?

I tried to contact the seller a few months back when I was looking at cars and never got a return call or email. I was just wondering if it's legit.<ul><li><a href="http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/619035915.html">http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/619035915.html</a</li></ul>

Default I haven't seen it personally, but it has been for sale for an awfully long time.

The asking price has always been below what I've seen others in the Seattle area listed for...which makes you wonder why.

Super odd that he won't return your calls or email...awfully hard to sell something if you don't provide a means for buyers to communicate with you!

This is the only thing I can come up with...he bought a new toy with the condition he would sell his S8. He doesn't really want to sell it, but to appease his wife he continues to list it, and even lowers the price over time..."I'm trying to sell it honey, I'm just not talking to any interested buyers".

Honestly though, it really is odd to see it available for as long as it has been...they seem to move fairly fast here in the Seattle area and for more money than he is asking.

Cheers,

Justin

Default Run, fast!

I looked at this car and had the guy take it to a dealer for a PPI. The dealer would not even look at it because it has been totalled. Of course, the seller failed to mention this to me even after I specifically asked him about any previous accidents, etc. To make matters worse, I sent the guy a deposit and he still has not returned it despite many calls and e-mails. The deposit is not worth the cost of legal action but it is the principle. My lesson is to at least run a carfax before considering a vehicle, on line or not. I normally run a carfax but failed to with this car.

Default That would certainly explain why it is priced below local market...yet still available.

Nice work to GT Style as well...if you take a look at the link he provided it shows the same seller has a number of cars for sale...many that are in questionable condition!

Good looking out to all members on this board!

Cheers,

Justin
