Seems too good to pass up.  I don't have any spare room in the garage, hope one of you gets it.

That price can't be real. It should part out at around 6-7k

Could be good old CL fraud.
I'm about an hour south of Cocoa.  Could help someone to get eyes on it.

The ad smells pretty scamtabulous...

I noticed this:
"Full VIN Report from Federal Government"

Which is similar to this MR2 Spyder ad that I replied to with my e-mail specifically for possible scams.

https://spacecoast.craigslist.org/cto/d/sharpes-toyota-mr2-spyder/7146254102.html

The MR2 ad has:

"Full Report from Federal Government: https://vincheck.report/archive/JTDFR3200Y0007640.PDF"

and both are in Cocoa.

I received a reply for the MR2 that was mainly a copy-paste from the ad.

I will sometimes do an image search when I think that a listing is fake.

I found one of the photos on a site called Saab 92 forum, from back in 2008. I thought that indicated it was fake, but maybe not. The owner of the car lived in Cocoa, FL. Fits with the CL ad location.

Someone should grab it. Won't be me, I finally got my WRX wagon this spring.

If this was down the road, and the ad turned out to be real, I'd be trying to arrange a trailer right now. That is a screaming deal.

Ad taken down by the seller. Hopefully it was a GRM'er who got it.

Starting to think I may have missed out on the deal of the year.

You've got to move fast on things like that.

Did anyone find out if it was even a real ad?

Appears that it was real.  Ad was deleted by user within 12 hours of posting.

Was it a manual?  And how much were they asking?

In reply to Sil80redtop :

$2700 for a Saab 9-2 with 12K miles.  One owner.  Had some STI parts like a 6 speed manual trans and intercooler. Trans and clutch were in the trunk.

Wow.  12k miles?   I'm in the area and definitely would've jumped on that.  Not that I need a third turbo Subaru hatch though.
