Re: FS 1992 S4 & Export Information

["Timothy A. Wicks" <75052.1503@CompuServe.COM>]

On Sunday (8/11) I listed my 1992 S4 (Emerald/Ecru, 44K, exec. cond) in the
Minneapolis paper for $26K.  Today (8/12) got a call from a company in FL called
CarNet.

Apparently S4's are high on CarNet's list of cars to be exported to
Central/South America.  What CarNet does is asks me to pay $400 to put an add
for my S4 in their listing that goes directly to exporters.  They said the
average price for recent 1992 S4 sales was $32,700.  They said they would put an
add for my car in their listing for a $32,500 firm price.  Then apparently one
of these exporters will contact me directly to buy the car outright and then
export it to who knows where.  

This seems like one of those "too good to be true, so it must be" type
experiences.  Before this fool and his $400 were easily parted i told them i
wanted them to fax me references and information about their company.

Has anyone else had such an experience?  Has anyone else tried to use an
exporter to get an above U.S. market price for their car?  Anyone have any
thoughts on whether this CarNet company might be legitimate, or suggestions for
checking them out???

Thank you, and BTW the car is still for sale!
