thephanatik Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 So, I've been looking at a 99 323i BMW on craigslist for the past few days. It was originally listed for 4 grand, 120k miles on it. The number listed was a dealership in Green Bay. Called that and got an answering machine and no returned call. I see the post deleted shortly after the call, but then re-listed for 3.3k without the phone number. I email the guy and ask him if I could see it Monday. He said it would be sold by Monday and wouldn't give me a phone number or address. Asked him a few questions about it, said he bought it off a friend who needed money. He deleted the craigslist listing and re-listed it for 3k. I believe that listing has now been deleted too, but emailed him and he gave us an address to see it at today, told us a few other people were coming to look at it. According to Street View on google, there's nothing at that address, but with a little more searching it turns out it is a Shell gas station. This entire thing seems kind of sketchy too me, was wondering what some other people thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 IMO mang id say screw it. if the dude had the car at one price, ignores a possible buyer, then drops the price, gives ya a bunch of BS the car is prob stolen, or a straight up lemon. if he was wanting to sell a real car with no BS he would have no prob lettin ya check it out, but to much BSin goin on for real. seems very sketchy Quote March 2010 SOTM winner my old buildhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/50219-dank-aka-crackers-bonne-new-v2-build-in-the-works-hahahaaaaaa/page__hl__crackers my youtube page - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=jackiedan04#g/u my feedback - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/56540-official-cracker-feedback/ i need tacos and bass to live!!!!! and will NEVER change hahaaaa TEAM NOIZE VIOLATION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thephanatik Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I was thinking about getting the VIN and running a carfax and checking if it was reported stolen: https://www.nicb.org/cps/rde/xchg/nicb/hs.xsl/vincheck.html I'm really thinking its not even worth it though. I'll probably email the guy and ask for the VIN, if he doesn't give it to me, I'm just gonna say screw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
