Avoid this VIN

Joal0503 · 07-21-2017, 10:06 AM

WBSKG9C56CE798052 - 2012 M3 with 31K miles...fully loaded for 28K.

Found the listing on cargurus which linked me to a dealership site alvaradoautos.com which had a full functional website listing.

seller contacted me via email and listings vanished from sites. guy is trying to sell it using the fraudulent Edmunds escrow service.

Shame really, its a beautiful REAL M3 package but fake price and seller.

28K price tag tells the whole story.

Might not be anything wrong with this particular vin. The scammers you encountered probably don't even have a car and just picked someone else's car.

Be smart out there when you're buying.
