Going to wait for the REVs and title search results and it does look to good to be true.
$16000 au plus $1000 freight.

Thought it was missing a 1 or 0
Its a 2005 boxster with 15,000klms.
I have been assured its the right price but it must be under finance, stolen or a scam.
I'll keep everyone informed.

You're wise to go very slow on this. There has been alot of scams out there lately for sports cars and motorcycles. I saw one that said they'd pay the freight from Great Britain to the states, all you had to do was send them a check for the vehicle; in this case, a brand new Honda Goldwing 1800 that retails for around 20kUSD. They were only asking $5500. And that was shipped to your door.

There was another going around on a 928, here in the states, but you had to register to bid on the item. You could never get a reply from them on the condition of the car or the real location and refused to do a ppi.

You're smart to look at this closely. If it's for real, WOO-HOO! If not, you've only lost a few minutes of your time.

Good Luck!

That looks like a 2006 Boxster S, maybe the $16,000 is the up front costs for a lease?

If it seems to good to be true,,,,,,

Though I do know someone(16 yr old) that bought a 911 from a grandmother, whose husband past away years ago, for $1000 dollars.

This type of thing never happens to me.
