Lots questions need there. Rebuild the front end with non-V parts? Then put shitty 16 wheels on it, what happened to the brakes?

It's pretty sad

Are you talking about the second ad? Those are stock V wheels. First ad is flagged for removal so I can't see that one.

Been looking for a decent priced V1 front bumper cover for a while now, if the base didn't look so awful in comparison my car might have already had one on there! But that car looks picked.

Can't see the first one, but the second one as much as it is a travesty has become even more of a sleeper than a regular V. Hah a base CTS, WTF where'd he go? Haha.

#2 is there. $11,900 for '06 black/black, unknown mileage. Beat inside... and out is hard to tell, but it has CTS front bumper cover. Agree with others, probably totaled car put back together cheaply. Ad written like a punk kid. Aftermarket headunit. What is that red line over the stock intake??

I will never buy a car from someone who didn't vacuum the car before taking the pictures.

I just looked at Rock Auto and they are $364. How is the quality? I see that they are CAPA certified. I really need to do mine.

I'd still go for it if I had the cash, but it definitely sounds like a shady dealer. I'd just expect that the car needs a thorough going over before you drive it very far.
