It does sound a little fishy because a 2011 does not come in blue.

who ever bites on this will be...
taking one for the team. just
not our team.

I sent a question to them.
I just sent them a question about their showroom. Wanted to see what else they have in stock. All dealerships I see on ebay have a direct link to their showroom etc. but don't see one here. Eagerly waiting for their response.

My guess is that it is an identity theft scam and will never actually ask you to send them funds.
-
Another issue is the use of the word Kofferraum instead of trunk. They got their german and english mixed up a little.

Buyer Beware on this one. The scammers are back again.
-
On the bottom of the listing you can "report this listing" if it truly is a scammer. One report will not likely get it pulled but if a few people file a report...
I'm not suggesting we all do this but if we find out it is the classic "its in a crate and can ship free via the military" I say we go for it.

this JUST PISSES ME OFF !!!! I had the high bid in for the A/C model. I'm just wondering what I'm going to do with all the cans of freon I bought?
OH !!! or was it referring to the Audio Convenience package...?
now as for the shipping... I still have a few load master connections out there; and I think we could swing an extra pallet load, without too much paperwork.
-
If that's the case; maybe we can get a group discount if we purchase in bulk...
-
What is scary is that is the ad was just a little better than some people might actually fall for it. Imagine if all the technical stuff matched. Ie. model year and color. Lets then say that they listed it as have 1,000 miles and the story was that they bought it for their spouse and the spouse just could not get comfortable riding with it and they just wanted to get enough to pay off the bank loan.

His response.
This is the reply I got from the guy.
Hello ,
I am selling this beautiful, well maintained 2011 Can-Am Soyder RS because my brigade will deploy for 14 months to Afghanistan. I'm under enormous time pressure cause I need to sell it fast, before August 04 that being the reason for selling it so low.
It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident...I do have the title, clear, under my name.
It is still available for sale if interested, price as stated in the ad, 9500$. The vehicle is in Dallas, TX and in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. Let me know if you are interested, email back.
Thank you

Very interesting...
This still smells fishy to me! But I'm having a bad day...

Classic reply. Now he will give you a link to moneygram escrow services. Problem is that moneygram does not have an escrow service- but the site will take your financial information and you money will be "held" along with anything else they can drain from your account. The typical ploy is that there is one or two shipping delays (usually for "patriotic" reasons like deployments took priority of personal shipments) once or twice to put some time between you and the withdraw before you never hear another word from the seller.
This scam is a nice skirt of the mail fraud statues since the funds are not sent through the mail. You can find attempts at this kind of scam all over Craigslist, in the pennysaver, newspaper posts and eBay. They are usually for desirable bigger ticket items at good to unbelievable prices.

I think that the final nail in this guy's scam is his poor translation skills... He should know about the word "Trunk".

It does sound fishy..But since when does a marine say "One Team, One Fight" Isnt there motto SemPer-Fi..Whre is the spyder Located?? He is a little about the unit he is in..
The 4th Combat Engineer Battalion (4th CEB) is a combat engineer battalion of the United States Marine Corps reserve. Their headquarters are in Baltimore, Maryland but they have units in West Virginia, Virginia and Tennessee. They belong to the 4th Marine Division and Marine Forces Reserve.

Since when does someone in Dallas, TX or a marine show a price of 9500$??? That's a warning flag right there. Us Americans usually put the dollar sign first do we not?
