Thread: 2008 A8L w/19K miles for only $22....is this for real??

Details of Used 2008 Audi A8, Denver, CO - Yahoo! Autos


Not sure if this is for real or not, but if I had $22K lying around I would definitely pick this up!!

Scam

so i emailed the sender and she just replied back:

Thank you for showing interest in my 2008 AUDI A8 L QUATTRO!
The general condition of the car is excellent, very well maintained, no damages, no mechanical problems and no electrical issues. It has a clear title free of any liens or loans and a clean carfax, free of accidents. The mileage is 19,202 and the price is $22,000.
Because of my divorce settlement, i own this car and as a woman without driver`s license i don`t need it so i`m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible.
I just got a new job and moved so get back with me to organize this sale.

Thank You!

If this is legit, what steps do i need to take to buy this car? she's in denver and i'm in california. i've never bought a car from out of state, so i have no idea what to do

It's not legit so you might as well stop there. Google that response and you'll see. Many before you have been down this path so save yourself the aggravation now.

STAY AWAY! hellascam.com/frikinpplgetajob

The next email you will be receiving is that they are away and the car is somwhere and pay for the car , they will send it to you and if you dont like it you will be refunded lol .. you can barely find a 2006 A8L for 22k even at auction ..

Well, I told her I want to buy it, and she just replied:

Hello,first please let me explain you the process of this transaction,
As I told you in my first email, i divorced, i got a new job and moved to Omaha Nebraska. Before leaving I had prearranged the deal with PayPal so my presence isn't necessary. The car is located in Omaha, at the shipping company, ready to be delivered. The car will arrive at your address in 3-5 working days. The shipping cost is included in the total price of the car! You will have 5 days to test it and inspect the car prior to make any purchase. So if you want to make this deal I need the following details from you:
full name and address
phone #
After I will have all this details I will forward them to PayPal and I will proceed this transaction. PayPal will contact you with all the details that you need to complete this deal and also to see that i am covered by them and that I am legit seller. Waiting your email with the requested details.
Regards!!

So is she saying she will ship it to me before I make a payment?? I'm a lil weary now of giving my full name and phone #, even though I deleted my paypal account. What do you guys think?

ok guys, nevermind, I just realized it is a scam. I googled her email address, and got this:

1-573-298-4807 / 15732984807 16/17

Good thing you googled it since nobody said anything about a scam in the 987213948124 posts above this

Makes you realize that although many can find it easy to spot, the scammers can still scam some. The thought of such a great deal still had him hooked to an extent to keep trying to find legitimacy in it.
