Ad would be more effective if it read,

"Free 1993 GTS 5 Speed*"

Nice color combination though. How many were made with that?

Clerical error or odometer change.
If you have complete service records with mileage recorded on the receipts, you can verify the odometer.

Think it might be salvage. Did a search on the VIN and came back with this:

One of the best advantages of Rennlist are the many eyes who've seen all of these cars before....and point out the flaws.

Correct. Unless your records show - as did the one in question - the odometer going in reverse for several years.

Yes records are key regardless of year, also not all gears fail. My 130k mile 87 is still running on the original gear.

Green exterior works, but the interior is just too green
