Are you sure it's not a mis print? It checks out good on carfax. I think you'd be a fool not to grab it up for 5 g's....
I'd give that much even if it had a salvage title.
Maybe the guy needs money really bad and asap

Doesn't this usually mean rental car? Even so if it's in great condition this is a steal. I mean, even if the motor was shot this would still be a good deal.

As for the thread i'd be all over that car, as long as the guy has the title an its in his name i'd buy it in a heartbeat, so what if he buys cars to sell them, if it was sold awhile ago then maybe he just doesnt want it anymore, or is in some financial trouble and trying to pay what he owes. If you dont get it i wll

If it's car from NY, then it's probably seen the snow & salt a little bit. They can have harse winters. And if that person drove it in that a couple yrs in a row, the underside is probably rusted and destroyed. Just a thought to think about

Its prolly a scam. I always see cheap fbodies on auto trader in NY. If you look at the numbers they are all area codes in africa or somethin. They are all the nigerian scams.
