Default Is this website too good to be true?

I googled corvettes for sale and this site was one of the options.


http://www.vettehound.com/geo/classifieds.php?

I saw a ZR1 on there yesterday with 1200 miles for $49,000. I call BS on this. It's got to be a fake site.

If it's real, I'll soon be the proud owner of a 2009 ZO6.

On the ZR1 the zipcode matchs New York but the state listed is North Dakota. Then in the description it shows Arizona so I would say that one is fake.

I dont know that the site is fake, cause i saw some legitimate prices on some stuff, but some of those ads have to be fake. Either that, or it is a collection of the worlds most desperate corvette owners.

2008 Z06. $29,000 with 1500 miles. yeah right.

Yeah I saw the same ad. Some prices do seem good but others seem a little to good to be true.

Strange thats about what those cars go for at dealer auctions.

Edit: actually now that i looked thru the C6s some of those are way under priced no matter what. And some of the adds seem really shady.

Theres been a similar scam going on Craigs List. Don't fall for it, you know what they say "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is ".
