    I just got a call from one of my clients price shopping a car of mine against one of "LA Luxury Auto Brokers"... Check out their inventory on Cars.com:

    http://www.cars.com/go/search/search_results.jsp?ct=19&tracktype=usedcc&searchType=26&cid=&dlid=194587&dgid=&amid=&cname=LA%20Luxury%20Auto%20Brokers&rd=&ddrd=&zc=90064&makeid=&modelid=&pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=descending&sortfield=PRICE%20descending&certifiedOnly=false&criteria=C-194587|K-|E-|N-N|R-|I-1,7|P-PRICE%20descending|Q-descending|Z-90064&aff=national

    Supposedly they are here in Beverly Hills, but I've never heard of them... and apparently they don't have a website and are ungoogleable. I tried calling their phone # but nobody answered.

    Does anybody know anything about them? Any thoughts?

    I don't want to point fingers, but... an $888k Enzo and $233k 08 599?

    I saw that the other day. The 599 they have listed is/was owned by a FCer and was already used in a craigslist scam once. That is not to say this new dealer is a scammer by any means but a good place to start would be to ping jeffb and see if he did business with them or knows who did. His was not an '08 IIRC and the pictures are in front of his house.

    Look in the 599/612 section for an applicable thread.

    This fraud has been bounced around for a while now.

    haha, my competition... I'm asking $209k on mine, and then it was brought to my attention that there is "a cheaper car right down the street"

    Rob,
    I just caught wind of these scammers as well. They have several of my cars as well - using my descriptions, photos, VIN, etc! I called Cars.com and told them about my cars and I also said the prices listed were well below wholesale and I would buy every car in their inventory (they currently have 19 cars listed) - the rep told me "they would look into it"! No wonder I don't advertise with cars.com anymore! If anyone recognizes any of the other photos contact cars.com so they might speed up removing them off of their site!

    I had some guy call me yesterday who spoke to them... he wanted to see one of their cars but they "couldn't show it because it's celebrity owned and they can't be bothered"... what a joke!

    I think they are looking for exporters who blindly wire money.

    I did receive a response from cars.com regarding my cars and LA Luxury Auto Brokers and have included it in this post - if anyone else has their cars posted by these guys please let cars.com know. They did only choose vehicles which I have sold recently - nothing that is current on my site!
