Post eBay shark

This COULD (and I stress COULD) be a nice opportunity for someone.

...or *not*. I love when people with 20% negative feedback sell cars with unknown mileage on eBay & profess to know nothing about them (and apparently don't), but demand very quick payment.

That interior is not very clean. Cover over turn signal switch assembly missing. What else?

Seat heating and drivers seat lumbar support are nice, though.

Looks and smells a bit fishy to a suspicious person like me.
E.g. - Is it normal for all the bolts in the car's "like new" interior to be obviously corroded?

I wouldn't even bid on a car like that before having checked it (and it's seller) out in person.
But that's of course just my opinion.
A true gambler might want to take such a doubtful chance <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> .

Why do I have the feeling that all the electrical connections in the cockpit probably look like those screw heads? Maybe the shark went for a swim?

Pretty good chance this shark has spent some time on salty winter roads...look at the engine bay picture as several bolts appear to have corrosion on them. Only imagine what the underside looks like.

Also - this shark may have been wrecked....check the fit of the nose on each corner - and ESPECIALLY - the difference in the headlights in the head-on pic! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

All right, so let's say it's been submerged in salt water and wrecked in the front end. SHEESH you guys are picky!
