Amazing to me how these cars bounce all around the country while assuming everyone that touched it made a nickel or two. According to the carfax Riley sold or traded it to Smart dealer in Fl. They traded it to Porsche in Cincinnati and that Porsche dealership sells it to someone in Beverly Hills.
Based on the salvage auction pics it will certainly be back at a minimum as a track car.

at first they said it was the agreed number, then i brought out the paperwork from the day before showing the breakdown and etc we had discussed and agreed on.. then they said that "the buyer they had backed out and they were going off manheim numbers now... i then asked them to bring up the manheim numbers (i ran them prior) which were 71-73k, 6-8k more than they were first offering, 11-13k more than their current offer.. they just said "well thats the deal" and it went south from there..
it's funny because i actually drove the smart home the night before and was all ready to do the swap and they would have made money on both deals, but they were greedy like most all dealers and wanted their cake and to eat it too.. turn down 6k profit cause they want 11k.
the guy that bought my car for 63,750 dropped 2k at a local dealer for random repairs and service he felt it needed (he based off when the 09's came out versus when mine was built/sold)... and then paid 1500 to ship... jeeez, just added up fast.. i was happy tho..

Thanks for the updates Riley.
IMHO having the Ohio dealer broker the deal to save tax $ was brilliant. A buddy of mine did the exact same thing on the private sale of his 993 and the purchase of a X5. The BMW dealership only charged him a very small transaction fee that resulted in a $4K tax savings for him.
This example shows you how inaccurate carfax is. The Smart stealership never took possession but shows up?????

Not so sad, this car will be back for sale in 2weeks minimum. there may not be any carfax issues either. and if ther is, there won't be much of a discount.

its a win/win for buyer (safer transaction) and seller (save sales tax) no reason for anyone to do otherwise.
