Must be a problem with this one. Someone should call and find out what's going on. Any accidents? Salvage title? Rebuilt title?

WARNING: Initially, this car listed with 47,000 miles on it. It had a price of $12,900.

The guy has added exactly 100,000 miles to the listing.

And he added exactly $10,000 to the price.

He must think this car really is special.

The guy is playing games with sellers. Buyer beware.

Has standard ZSP steering wheel and an M-Tech I front bumper cover...seems as though it had front end impact and the airbag deployed...

Wrong headlight trim, too. Looks like someone put it together haphazardly after an accident.

Bump. Clicked on this in the "similar threads" box, and this car is now exactly $10,000 more money and apparently has 100,000 more miles on it now!

WTF? Could an owner really be this detached from reality? With nearly 150,000 miles on it, this car is what, $12,000 overpriced?

Wow.

This car needs to drift into obscurity. It leaves too much to chance. With a sketchy price jump and mileage increase, the seller is not doing a good job at promoting a safe sale for a potential buyer. Let's hope this thread follows this car so the buyer will know what/who they're dealing with.

Exactly why I bumped it. Everything about this car is now sketchy. Stupid repairs, huge mileage and price increases, and no description. Somebody needs to call the seller and say, "WTF?"

I'd guess it was some kind of scam, but then I'd expect a low price, not an exorbitantly ridiculous one.

Bizarro.

Initially, this car listed with 47,000 miles on it. Now it has nearly 150,000 miles? Something definitely going on with this seller.

The guy added exactly 100,000 miles to the listing.

And he added exactly $10,000 to the price.

He must think this car really is special.

I have updated the initial listing.

Indeed. I would never buy this car. Not worth the trouble.

Missing pictures too. I don't see the ZSP steering wheel that was previously mentioned.
