(item # 4630132414) I think I've seen it listed before but no one bought it. It was on auto-trader also. The seller sent me the carfax and it comes up clean, but I'm still skeptical. Does anybody have the history of this vehicle? Anyone know why it's not selling?

Its not selling because its an auction. It still has almost 4 days to go, and the reserve price is unknown. The dealer describes the exterior and interior and "frame" as merely "good" and not "excellent", and says its in good shape considering the miles (only 37,000) and the age (9 years). That will require some phone conversation. Most eBay cars are being advertised, and aren't really expected to sell at auction. If you're interested in the car, you should be talking to the seller. Some folks are turned off by Adventurine Green... I like it. You should work out the details of a mutually agreeable selling price, negotiate a deposit: refundable if the car isn't exactly as he describes it (get that in writing), and work out the details of a PPI... who will do it, who will pay (you should), and how you will negotiate on any issues found, or you can get the deposit back and walk away. At worst, you may be out the price of an airline ticket and the PPI. You may also be able to coax a Rennlister to toss an eyeball on the car to save you a disappointing trip.

Good luck
