Default SCAM? Anyone close to check it out?

Has anyone looked into this car?

Obviously everything points to a scam or a typo on the add.

If anyone goes to check it out, make sure you take a couple of 6'5" linebacker buddies along with you.
Its a scam all the way.

There has to be something wrong with that car!!! Weirdly with scams they don't usually have so many pics.

For that pics, & miles, I'll sell my car today for $25!

Not a C2S, rather a Turbo...

Well, picture #11 shows a "Turbo" tale......so it is AWD. But, still a scam.

I can see an intercooler in one of the pictures. Plus an undertray. This is a pretty good price for a turbo, but damn... that undertray scares me.

I guess they thought the big reds were too blingy so they replaced with black.
