Default Ebay - 95 Cab...too good to be true?

Check out this 29K mile Black on Black w/partial leather and limited slip 1995 Cab... listed buy now for $29K!!

WTF?? This seems too good to be true. But I have to admit, if I didnt already have my black cab, Id be all over it...

Car is in FL and I have no affiliation, but worth a look if you are in the market for a cab that looks nice at least in the photos

Look at the interior photos. The car is a sun-baked rat ... and the interior is in "excellent" condition. Sure it is!

Interior looks to be of higher mileage, but maybe just not well taken care of. While I like the wheels, rears are the wrong offset. Not a permanent problem by any means.

I feel this car would have to be seen in person for one to feel comfortable purchasing.

The interior photos speak of a car with 129K not 29... I suspect ODO rollback... Knowing how easy it is to roll it back it scares me to think about this car...
Then WTF with these rims? Horrid... Finally look at the first pic and notice the heavily scufed front...
Dont walk...RUN! LOL

Can you say...ROLLBACK?

Florida cars are notorious for having the speedo rolled back. Also, as others have said. Those seats have a LOT of wear on the, so does the steering wheel. No way it has 29K miles.

Look at the picture with the speedo, you can see that the rubber gasket has been broken by the hacker that took it out with a screwdriver. The dash vinyl also show that the odometer was pulled out and pushed back in incorrectly.

Besides...wrong wheel offsets, damaged front bumper, dubious broker/dealer..as Danny said... RUN!!!

pay for the carfax guarantee and buy it anyway. seats are only a few hundred bucks for good OEM ones, or take advantage and upgrade. the the steering wheel is a good excuse for a 996 3-spoke. the interior damage could just be from sitting outside in the florida sun all its life. if it checks out mechanically, it would be a great deal.

That front section of the spoiler is virtually pulled off... The front seats look horribly wrinkled compared to the back ones and is that rust on the convertible top arm thing?

I agree with Vic...driver's seat looks really bad by the pictures...imagine up close and personal...the front bumper's lower lip is falling apart...it looks like this lady has being around the block away more than 29k miles...or maybe it was just plain bad maintenance...which is even worst!

I have been told that it is very easy to wash a salvage title in Florida. I would like to see a CarFax on the car.

I would like to see service invoices etc that indicate the slow, gradual build up to its tiny little mileage...

Expenses on an unknown car like these car run into the thousands as we all know. I would buy it in the upper teens only as long as its not a salvage which is not improbable at all....
