yes, it's still a scam, looks like they are just stole the photo from that link! The price at that dealership is $52000 USD, why would they try and sell it in Canada for almost half as much? Doesn't make sense.

looks like you have to email carsprocom@yahoo.com to get a response, probably from some loser looking to steal some poor schlep's hard earned cash with the promise of a cheap and perfect M3. the email will probably suggest using ebay safe harbor to handle the sale, which is a proven scam. i can't believe autotrader would allow an ad like this on. note how it is a private ad.

I hate scammers! I'm going to email this address and let's see what happens...

I did test drive the C63, very good car, great steering, the auto box was the best I've ever tried, (although all cars I've ever owned have been manuals). It just didn't blow me away like the M3.

I'm pretty convinced that I'll get an 09 E90 if finances continue to be ok, but I'm waiting to see if there are any deals to be had later in the year. I don't want to be buying at 2.5% under MSRP and 8.25% financing rates during arguably the worst economic downturn since the 70's (30's?).

I have had my Jetta for 6 1/2 years I can wait a few more months.

I'd buy that for a dollar! Wow, I am surprised that trader allows posts like that to be published. Sounds similar to an email that I received a while back where I won a lottery in the Poland...they just needed my passport # and CC # to confirm LOL.

from their website: my favourite part of their 'mission' statement. good thing they only hire humans!

4. Our Co-Workers
- Our coworkers are the most valuable capital our enterprises.
- We regard our coworkers as humans of age and try basic conditions to create, which make self motivation and direct responsibility for the coworkers possible.

Ok I agree, there was something fishy about that post, because I checked it again and its still there.

This is not a SCAM, but what a deal for someone shopping around

Good stuff, whenever you are ready for the M3 or if I hear something from my dealer, I can get you in touch with the GM and he will get you the best deal.

Now would you consider this?

Cool, thanks again.

As for the Bentley, I already have a Volkswagen, don't need another one!

But seriously it's fun to think about a Bentley for 14 months, but it's basically $11,000 spent and no car at the end.

I know...VW

However, for 14months I dont think you can go wrong, had I not purchased my M3 yet, I would have gotten this in a heartbeat, and then at the end of the lease decided whether to keep it or not
