Default WTF? think its a POS?

I was looking around for a used S2K, just seeing what i could get one for and i found this. Seems a bit low for a S2K with that mileage so what do you think?

That exact one has been up there for a while. Seems like any S with a price that low would be scooped up already. There must be something wrong it it... Maybe a salvage.

It's either salvaged or a scam. I've emailed some owners selling s2ks for rediculously low prices ex 2004 with 12k miles for 8k and they reply saying that they are in the UK or
england and need to sell the car. There obviously is some catch if the car is priced well below blue book.

Erm if they say they're in another country, isn't it most likely one of those scams?

my dad has a medical supply company and one day he got an order for 4 9000SLs (light weight wheel chair) I think they retail for about $1500 each for the ones they bought anyway they wanted them sent to somewhere in Africa. my dad tried to turn them away saying it would save them LOTS of $ if they bought it from someone on the east coast rather then Hawaii but they insisted so he ran the card and it went through. after doing so he called someone cant remember who, i think it was a support line through VISA and they said that the card was prob stolen and they have been getting a lot of stuff mailed to that country whatever it was all payed for with stolen cards or identity theft. so he canceled the order and he was out $200...

you i always see these S2k on Autotrader for less than that. I alway scontact them and i get a response like its in the UK and im selling it for my Husband. Same thing with NSX's. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

Salvage or not, for $12K it would be a nice track car.
