    Default Too Good to Be True???

    Calling all Spyder Lovers!

    Does this Spyder belong to anyone out here in SyderLover land?

    Does this price seem too good to be true?

    If this is legit, I would be half tempted to board a plane and do work!

    Way to good to be true if it has not been stolen, crashed & fixed, or just a scam to collect your money or bank account information and send you a picture of what you bought. I would wait to verify from the website like you asked.

    Dollars to donuts it's a scam.

    I'll bet the machine has to be shipped to you and and it's a you'll need to wire them the money thing.

    There has been alot of that going on.

    I'll bet no matter what, you can't bring cash and pick up the Spyder in person.

    If you can, jump on it because it's a killer steal.

    For that price I'd throw the exhaust away.

    Could be they meant $14,200.00. But you'd think their phone would be ringing off the hook and they would have fixed it.

    I'd take a closer look and see. But I'd be very careful. Something is very wrong here.

    Thanks for all the replies...

    My first thought was typo, but then i figured after so many calls they would wise up and fix it!

    I'm going to call after work and see what happens!

    Thanks all!

    P.S. - that exhaust would DEFINITELY be the first thing to go!

    one more time--good detective work Lamonster, that shows there is a scam going on. Caveat Emptor! When its too good to be true, it usually is a scam.

    Yes, so how can a Spyder be in Denver and in South Carolina at the same time? Has he found a rip in the fabric of sapce and time? Is this vehicle from the show "Fringe"? Either that or this Spyder is so hot you can't touch it!

    Either way, this smells so bad I have to leave the room now...

    WHO does!

    Maybe there triplets--- separated at birth.... lol

    -----------------------

    Notice the one pic is missing the rear fender?

    While I could see 2008 Spyders going for well under $10,000 ---- that deal certainly is too good to be true.....

    Caveat emptor!

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    I bought the spyder for $4,500 shipping included. What a deal!! Just kidding. I went along with the scam until I got the details and all the good stuff. You have to admit, they are very creative. I just hope no one falls for this scam. I guess I had a little too much time on my hands tonight. Tomorrow is a different story, ride, ride ,ride. Great weather coming to New England.

    Sounds like this guy has an unlimited supply. I think I'll get one too! Don't like the yellow but at this price I'd take any color!

    It's a scam. He's probably sold it several times already. It is amazing what people will fall for. This one is really pretty stupid. When you're trying to rip someone off you should make the scam a little more believable.

    I ordered 2! Shipping is FREE! What a deal!

    I saw a scam like this in the Cincinnati Enquirer. They only gave an email address and when I ask for a phone number to talk to them about it, they clammed up.

    (Clammed up, for those of you from Kansas, refers to "clams" which are a shellfish and you don't have them.)

    There are several on adpost. The same guy replies to all the emails I have sent.

    Of course it is a scam. Told him bring me the and I will give you cash, after a checking the out.

    Naturally he can't.
