I was able to get the guy to share his VIN with me and I ran the carfax, it was in a major accident! The carfax he shows on the ad is old and doesn't show the accident. People like this make me sick......
Thank you for sharing! You should report it on autotrader for misrepresenting the state of the car.

Is there a method to report this to Autotrader? That is outright fraud in the description in the ad.

Are you talking about the car that is in the Renn List classifieds? I'm surprised they do not pull his ad off the site here. Probably explains the introduction of why he relisted.

I went ahead and reported it as well. We should get a ton of Rennlisters to do the same. In the AutoTrader ad, the VIN listed in the description (S22134567894321DF) isn't even a Porsche VIN.

Reported also:
"Clean Carfax being shown has VIN scratched so it can't be read. VIN on the description is not for this vehicle. Fellow enthusiast got the correct VIN from the seller, checked Carfax, and found it has been in an accident."

Ok, so it's not just me who doesn't like that weird blue leather interior. It's not just Porsche, it's weird in the Honda S2000, too. Otherwise nice car.

I can’t do it. I’ll do the red interior any day over the blue.
