Actually, seems too good to be true. His "Buy It Now" price is only $33K? For a 20K mile unmoletsed car that's got Kinesis wheels?

I agree, a bit of a red flag. Get a good independent PPI and if everything checks out, go for it!

I live outside Richmond but don't know the car personally. However, if anyone here is seriously interested in it, I can check it out. PM me.

oddly enough when I tried to get a hold of the buyer being in Va. and having friends close to where the car is I could never reach him and suddenly the car is no longer listed. could be coincendence- you decide... I really think the car was a really nice example, the rear reflector was replaced as were the wheels... ?? My question- who in thier right mind would put a rack on a 20K miles car when there is a vette and a SUV in the background...? but these people exist!!!! not me!

Cheers- Mike

That is NOT a 20k mile car. Look at the floor mats. Look at the shift ****. More than 20k miles of wear and tear, in just those two spots, looking at pictures! Imagine how it looks close up.

With that said, I hope he gets $30K!

Thanks and you too! We could do a Doublemint ad!

The owner e-mailed me back a couple of times with some thorough information about the car, how he came to own it and his pricing logic. He bought it off a friend of a friend for a cheap price and wasn't looking to get rich off it. He said he pulled the ad off after several people starting asking him what was wrong with it since he was asking such a low price. Said he decided to keep it or rethink his price, but it still seemed too good to be true. Oh well, I don't have the garage space anyways.
