Hello all. I've reduced the price to $15,499. I'm a motivated seller. Make me a reasonable offer and you might be surprised! Also, rennlisters will get included a durametric with the laptop that is used for it. Thanks!

The plates are from Virginia, and that landscape is definitely not in Fort Myers. I doubt this ad is legit.

Wraps are so ugly on cars. Makes it look cheap.

I just might have to see this one in the flesh. First step will be to try to get a VIN number out of the seller.

EDIT: this car seems to actually be in Alexandria, VA so one of you Old Dominion residents will have to look at it. A little bit of a drive for me!

I've looked a bit at the plate on that 'Florida' car. It has a solid white plate, with slender black lettering. It also has what looks like a Times New Roman font maybe. Look at image 4 and 12 closely.

My search was by no means exhaustive, but there is no US plate that I can find with white background, black Times New Roman font. It could be a special order, but I kinda doubt it. Most fonts for US plates are bold for easier reading. Serious doubt it is a FL state plate of ANY kind. Word of caution.

I agree the plates are Virginia. The same ad is also on the Alexandria, VA Craigslist and the phone number provided is a D.C. area code. Who knows what the real story is...

Fairly certain it’s a Washington DC plate. Also, phone number area code in the ad is 202, Washington DC.

The story has significantly changed between the two ads though, no mention of the replacement engine, IMS or RMS work and the mileage has gone up. I guess the poster can't keep his story straight.
