They do have a 5-speed auto as an option, but it still looks like its either a salvaged title or a scam.

^^Thanks Bdog. I emailed the seller to ask him some questions. It seems like a nice car, so we'll see what happens. I was aware that some M3's came in 4 door, but I didn't know about the auto.

 

Here are some M3's for sale in the DC area right now, so $6k is a scam or stolen.

I figured that much. I always check them out though. You never know.


edit: I'm figuring he fogot a "1" and it should be 16k

 

Perpective: NYC is the only place in US where it's common to see a Ferrari with door dings and the owner not mind much.

 

They always quote "Minor dings from normal city parking". Sir, you drive a Ferrari, I better not see you park on the street. Still waiting for a reply from this guy. If hes local, I will go check it out and get the vin#

 

 

Scam.

Never understood why people continue to look at craigs list when everything (vehicle wise) is BS.
