There is no such thing as a free lunch. If something sounds too good to be true, it is.

Tell him that since you are a Nigerian prince, you will send him 1,000,000 dollars, for him to keep the price of the car and return the rest...!

If you can take it to a dealer and get 20k more why would you sell it for that?

Said he had moved to Prince Island Canada - I sent him an email saying "wow, that's great - my brother lives there. he can come look at the car". never heard from him again.
I like this technique.

Exactly my thoughts as well. No one would sell an 07/08 911 of any style at pricing this low. I've seen these scams on other cars too. Ex: 2011 Audi S4 for 33k like new. Stay away
