This is pretty baffling. The odometer raises the stench of seafood, but still, I'm intrigued, as the motor and interior look relatively clean.

Like I said, if you see something of any color, your eyes are better than mine.
If this is a scam, this has got to be one of the worse ones I've seen.
Further, I thought all C4 badges were "titanium" colored, regardless of paint tint? Wrong?

I just asked to be able to bid and threw in the question about the odometer reading vs. the stated mileage in the listing.
I also threw in a question about a PPI - repeating several times that I would pay for all aspects of the PPI.
Time to sit back and watch the excuses fly.

You "bidders" could probably use the information here when the same car was posted on eBay....oh, by the way, the "previous" seller had a revelation during the auction and realized it is a C2:

I received the following from EBay:
I don't think they send messages like this out to unless there is potential reason for concern about the "honesty" of the seller.
eBay sent this message to Russell Burton (rkb993).

Dear Sir,
I am glad you are interested in this car.I am a private seller and the owner of the vehicle.First I want you to know that I am currently located in Yukon (Canada).My wife is devastated that we have to sell it but I have to pay a down payment for my new house here in Canada and I need to sell it as quick as possible.The car is 100% working and perfect looking,no flaws or dents, no scratches or any kind of damage,no flood or wrecked and it is an US clear title,no engine problems,the interior looks great.Since the car is going to be shipped from Canada you must add an extra cost of $590.00 for delivery,this extra amount will be paid once the car arrive at your location.
The price for this car is $9,300.00.I ask for a payment through eBay Motors purchase program.The most important thing in all my activities is that I am affiliated at eBay Motors vehicle purchase program and I have a Purchase Protection Account for $20,000.00 and I assume you know what this means.I'll be glad to tell you more about my terms of payment, please let me know if your still interested.

I got the same emai so I had to respond as follows:
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your promp response. I always wanted a car like this but never thought that I could afford one until I saw your ad. I will be up all night thinking about my self driving a car like that , a dream come true. I have so many frequent flyer miles I think I will use some to buy a one way ticket and pick the car up myself. I look forward to visiting Yukon since it looks so pretty in the pictures with the car and all the palm trees and all. Do the palm tress have ripe coco nuts this time of the year.
Better for you also since I can pay you more. I can not belive your luck and mine also. I have a bank cheque of $18,000 canadian which is way more than your asking that I will give you for the car and a $2,000 cash to last me for my needs of gasline, food, smokes, liquor and motel rooms to share with all the hot ladies I will pick up with the car. Please let me know what your addres and tel # is so I can get there as soon as possible.
Regards,
