They're the same car ... "2040" pics are the "Before," Skanky Ho pics are the "After."

LOL Post of the year material right here!!!!

I love the part in the skanky-ho ebay add where the seller states he is old and can't use his hands anymore... So I'm guessing maybe he got his granddaughters to help model with his fixer-upper his car for him, eh? LOL!

For $125, I'm guessing the IMS Bearing came from a bicycle shop....

Nice looking, well-optioned car. Definitely worth a look if you're in the market. Cars out of Miami usually have a bit of a bad rap due to the high number of "posers" that live in that area and have a bit of checkered maintenance history (putting it lightly).

This particular car seems to have receipts and one owner, so this stigma probably doesn't seem to apply to this car. Overall, it seems like a very fair price for a good looking car.

Looks like it was hit pretty hard at some point in its past ... or actually, in its future -- it had 59,600 miles on the clock when it was hit, and 55k now:

All advertised with the same poor Ukranian hooker whose passport is being held until she pays off the expense of shipping her over here. I never knew an ad with a scantily clad female could be so depressing.

Plus, the owner has not addressed IMS issues on the car which is a big red flag in my opinion.

that explains why no pictures were included in the ad. Always a red flag to me.

From one of his part out ads;

Complete car for sale w/good title & VERY low. Miles! Had an OMS bearing failure at 54,000 miles so I parked it in the barn for the locals to crawl all over, lol.Engine is out ,apart & inspected w/no visible sign of much wear or damage EXCEPT to the IMS bearing itself! ( it's an easy fix), w/new ceramic bearing included!

Good to know it's an easy fix, and no visible sign of much wear.

Yea, those are the same pictures I first looked at first, but conveniently, he doesn't show the top of the roof where most of the oxidation is occurring or mention it. This guy seems nice, but he's covering up the problem by *not* disclosing it in the description. You can however, noticed the sun damage on the light enclosures. Not disclosing it clearly on eBay can get you in a butt-load of trouble.

Plus, and I mean a BIG plus... this car has been wrecked! Check the Carfax!!!
