Either it has been stolen or the seller is clueless regarding the value or the price listed is in error.

Scam. 18K for a car with 3300 miles on it. I bet it comes with some ocean front property out of AZ.

My thoughts exactly.

I remember a scam from a few years back that used ridiculously low prices as a hook. I called about a very low priced Maserati Quatro and said I was interested but wanted to inspect the car personally. The whole began to unravel very quickly. The ad in this case (linked address) indicates a private seller but the listing is by Allen's Auto and the telephone number is listed as 000-000-0000. 99% sure this is a scam.

With the money you save on the Jag, you could also buy the NSX and BMW 850 they have listed!

Also, the VIN is all wrong. (Except for the SAJW)

Default Walks like a scam, talks like a scam, looks like a scam...

This is nothing compared to the "Classic" Jag's now being advertised as a "one owner car with only 13-15,000 miles on the odometer" typically going for around $100K or more.
One little detail they omit is the fact that back then car's odometers did not used to go over 99,000 miles without re-setting to "0", which of course is not generally known among today's younger crowd.

What did you expect, they couldn't even get the phone number right.

Obviously, someone is bad with figures!

Ran a Google Image search on the first photo and got the following, so there's your problem
