The photos of the same car from the "salvage" site show a ruined interior. So whoever selling the car now has replaced the interior? This car was also listed on ebay for a long time with more photos--the driver's front fender has a really bad color match, visible from many angles. So at least we know about a bad interior and a bad repaint. What else is wrong that we can't see in the photos?

These cars aren't nearly old enough to require restoration. It's obvious a prior owner did not care for this particular car and that's enough to keep me away.

I emailed about the condition on that one, wanting to know how the car looked before I arranged for an inspection. Here is the response:

"The Car Iw In Great Shape, Juwt Let Me Know when You Will Be Here"

You know, if you can't spell you shouldn't communicate in a written medium. It's either that or the writer just doesn't care about the image he projects to his customers.

I'll pass, thanks.

This is the point where I jump off. Thanks for the ride

Vector, too many stories of this car are popping up. Never a good sign. Dealers can ACV the car just as good as I can. As the saying goes, If its too good to be true... I would pass.
