these are obviously fake; they have all been posted on the same day, have low prices, and have similar writing/format styles, and generic pics (most of which look like they were taken in the south/east coast)...either this person is phishing for emails and contact numbers for 3rd party agencies (spam), is phishing for a scam, OR he is trying to deflate the fair market value of s14s...

either way, knock it the fuck off! please flag these, guys:

I don't understand this. What do they get out of trolling? Just a bunch of emails? Haha maybe they are lonely.

Probably posted those up so that they could lowball on a different car? I unno.

i was just talking to zar yesterday telling him how a bunch of s14s just popped up out of nowhere a few days after i picked one up while in the past few months since i was looking, there were only a handful at a time.

i did respond to four of those ads in the afternoon, but no response yet. zar is probably right, i think whoever is posting those is trying to lowball or get another legit seller to lower his asking price.

haha I was just talking about this with a few friends last night.

Looks like somebody is looking to bring down prices on 240s.

noob quesion how do you guys know these are fake? price? email? pics?

well i did respond to a few of the ads yesterday and no responses.

and like i mentioned earlier, i have been looking for an s14 for the past few months and there were only a handful on the market at a time. then suddenly 10 of them pop up on ads in a matter of 2 days all at around the same prices.

those pictures were probably saved from cl ads by the troll throughout the years. i think i recognize some of them.

everyone that responded to those ads will get some kinda spam to that account in the future. and if you were dumb enough to give them a phone number, then youll probably get some telemarketing. typical indirect scam in craigslist

youd have to be pretty knowledgeable in 240s to churn out the detail in some of those listings so there is a spam marketeer among us! probably on this very forum!

same thing happened with kawasakis when i was looking, the listings were so detailed and 636 specific, a marketeer probably has these hobbies on the side and uses their knowledge to seem more credible...you sly dog, you...

i think they want you to email them so they have your email and then they can spam the shit out of you

notice the identical format and style of the listings...notice how each line is either the same category, or the exact same text (sometimes matching case) while cross referencing both listings...

funny how one listing actually has a 510 phone number...doubt its the seller though, its probably a poor sap that inquired and gave his number in his last batch, and now the spammer is using it to seem credible...

Its weird he is using a 240 if he is phishing. I would think he would post up a honda or a more common car to get more bites. Or maybe he is listing multiple vehicles.
