Can you say "Reconditioned Title? or that there should be a 2 in front of the $6,200.
You know that this could be a "divorce" car, and they might just be getting money.

IMO: probably just a type-o.

Type-O
Salvage Title
Car is Fuxored
Scam


Take your pick, and purchase at your own risk.

I'm going with the "Scam" approach.

"We're selling teh car in Nigeria, so if you can forward $3000 we'll hold it for you..."

^^thats a good point they say 50% of those floor damage cars will be coming back into the market, and will all look like good deals, i would never buy a car before driving it and having it inspected by a mechanic that i knew personally isnt that a limited edition one too?

there was a TA like that for 13 grand when I was searching for a car, and it turned out to be a scam. The guy said "I need to sell it fast, cause I need the money for a house" He wanted me to send him money through one of those places that hold the money and title then, hand both out when both parties are happy, they are called escrot services. The pictured car had a different state plate than the state he was in. He even dropped it another grand and said he would ship the car up to me for free, if I acted quick, I figured it was a scam and kept asking him different questions that would give him away. Finally I asked him for the cars vin numbers and said I would come down to check out the car and take it home, after that he wouldn't return any of my emails. I really wanted to bust him, but there was no way to track him. this was on autotrader as well
