I am nearly certain that this car is part of a scam. It showed up a few years ago for sale by someone who was not the owner - they had pirated the photos off the internet and were selling it for a ridiculously low price. Looks like it has come around again...
This can be proven.
The cardomain page looks real so if you all that curious about it just shoot him a pm and ask him if it was for sale recently and while your at it ask him into what the hell he sank 25k.

That gets us pretty close right there.
Hell, let's make it 30K, by adding a:

OK, so it turns out it's NOT sold, the guy just e-mailed me back. It's looking like he may actually accept my offer of $1500... I understand this is very sketchy so I am going to do some more research and ask the seller some more questions and see if he answers in accordance with what the car domain page states about the car. But if it's legitimate, I will certainly pick it up, as $1500 is dirt cheap, especially for only 86,000 miles.

Try also sending a pm on cardomain and see if the same person answers.
1500$ is definitely a great price if it's real.
Good luck!

So he replied to my PM, telling me very briefly that it was not for sale on Autotrader. He then in turn deleted the entire car domain listing... hmm...
