I was frustrated for a bit. I had an ego rush and reminded them about what the data shows before and after April 2016, and they could at least do a brother a favor. But got quite a corporate response that the kind of car I was selling was not the kind of car they wanted. Which as you point out, is ironic and strange as a suggestion. I (sadly) just sold the car to mark and will focus on my other projects, but its irritating in an "injustice" sort of way.

Not to get off topic but I had a very similar experience with them. I enjoy the site but somewhere along the way there was some disconnect. There customer service is lacking. I sold a car thru them with marginal results. A lack of phone number is also an annoyance. These guys love showing off their million dollar car collection but apparently can't afford a phone number.
Like I said, possibly hipsters.
I will review their process for when I sell the 89GT. The exposure is very large for the right car (still).

Looks like it Nate, and those wheel weights on the outside. I noticed something else but it escapes me now.

I am with you 100 percent. Nice car and appears to be well sorted. I am betting its had an odometer gear somewhere in its past life. It's just not doing it for me. I am not seeing the finishes that I would expect for this mileage

also something wonky with black overspray on the front radiator and evaporator.
Right, this was the other thing I had noticed.

What about the rest of the underside photos below that the header refers to? And how does it look like that after only 14,000 miles?

Lots of scratches on ignition lock etc. It’s been a very hard 14k miles. That written, it’s not in bad shape cosmetically.
Somebody did however pay a sheetload for service to make it ready for sale. If the seller/invoice-payer got the car mostly for free then this will go well for them. I think it’s worth at least the bottom-line amount in that service record. That is, for someone that’s going to drive it. As a collector car? Nope.

I agree with comments on condition versus odometer reading.
