I agree. Seems under-priced for such a nicely optioned car. I wonder if the CarFax reveals anything.

Not my first choice either, but I could live with them. They look like Kinesis.

Could live with the 'blueness' as well. They have some other cars at some very nice prices as well.

Here's the legitimate post for this car. It's been available since last spring as I recall seeing it for the first time about then.

could it possibly not be a turbo, but it is just dressed up to look like a turbo?

If you look closely at the photos and compare them to those shown in the link in my last post, you will see that they are the same photos but they have been cropped. The physical location of the car is in Florida at a high end legitimate dealer not far from where I live. It's possible that the photos were poached and the car presented to appear that another individual is the owner.
