Is this G37 a scam or is it real?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section but I wanted to know if the owner of this car is on the forum. It's up for sale on AutoTrader Canada for only 13500 CAD which I find pretty fake seeing how it's modded and could sell for any easy 35000 CAD. Here's the link to check out the pictures and other info. Let me know if you know whose it is. Thanks.

Too lowball a figure. A catch maybe to get your attention, then the true price will be declared. Either that or it has some history of theft, wreckage, or even death involved. Can you run some carfax history into this?

Actually, there have been a LOT of scams on AutoTrader recently. People selling cars in Canada but claiming to live somewhere out of country and only accepting PayPal.
I have reported a few posts as potential scams (like 8 or so) and ALL of them were taken off as not legit. For example, a 2007 Corvette Z06 for $26,000 cdn or a 2008 BMW M5 for $21,000. Be very, very careful... if it looks too good to be true, it likely is.

I'm pretty sure it's a scam. I just wanted to know whose ride it is because there pictures were used. There was once an '08 Escalade for $4,700 and the guy said he was in Scotland but the car was in Toronto and I could pick it up from the eBay motors lot because he listed it on there too and when I contacted eBay for an equiry, there was no lot that they have parked cars in for people to pick up the car and he wanted a PayPal transaction so if you ever see anymore of these, report them, especially the G37 ones. aha, Plus, no phone number for contact, only an e-mail address.

Scam. Just like that new GTR going for 22K, or the Audi R8 for 45K. Email them and see. You'll get some girl with either a sad divorce story or some such, and she's moving to the states. The car isn't available for inspection, because it's nowhere near you, but as soon as you pay them, they will ship the car to you. And if you don't like the car, you will get your full refund (yeah right....).
Ask the seller for the VIN. If they actually manage to produce one, you'll see the car is probably not even in the same country.

yea basically.
People who fall for such scams I don't even really feel bad for like the people who send 500 to someone with a promise of getting 2k in return or some other lame scam... COMMON SENSE PEOPLE!!!
but who would ship money for the car without seeing it and take a strangers word they will ship it to you lol.
I want to email them about the VIN just to see what they say
