    2005 SAN legit or scam?

    https://www.autozirkus.com/Inventory_2/AZCS07INV206/

    Found this boat on Craigslist and it is being sold by Zuto Zirkus sales and consignment. Does anyone have any experience with this or is it some kind of scam. There is not very much information available on the boat, just wondering if it would be something worth looking into.
    Thanks

        Looks to good to be true. I would go to the place of business and verify. If it's for real, it looks like an awesome boat at an unreal price. I have the exact boat but in blue.

          If that's close to you, you should check it out. The trailer is tin foil, but the boat looks great.

            It's on a Master Craft trailer, tower looks bent or tweaked, have a feeling in person it may not show that well plus being this late in the season that price may not seem so ridiculous. Call them or go see it, you will figure out if it's legit or not pretty quickly

              Ya think Peter?? Never heard of these guys before, definitely calling them after they open this AM. No trailer tags, no reg numbers so no clue where it could possibly be. Someone definitely backed that tower into a garage or whatever though, the starboard side rear leg is WAY off and front legs tweaked. Grab rail looks effed up also but could just be a reflection, remote bezel stickers and center cap missing & the POS trailer, otherwise looks OK but picture clarity is ideal for hiding flaws, lol

                Wow, this is a new one. It appears this AutoZirkus is a total scam, quite an elaborate one. Tried calling the US number, after a bunch of recorded BS they tell you to use the site Chat function, so started a Chat and the individual told me the boat was in their Atlanta warehouse and on consignment for Amanda Collins, would not provide a phone number however they said to email someone for that info. At this point did not bother, either the worst sales process ever or a total scam.

                For grins Googled the ad verbiage and found the same boat in the state of WA: https://kpr.craigslist.org/boa/5781848244.html not their Atlanta warehouse, lol.

                        The scam is probably them asking for a large deposit that you will never see again (because they will tell you there are other people really interested in the boat)

                            The scam is they are selling something they did not pay for or own, any and all proceeds are pure profit, lol

                            Click on the "avoiding scams" link adjacent to any CL ad, good info!
