A SCAM?

[BMW0299]

Looks to me like this car was just sold on eBay last month and now reappeared on cars.com for a LOT less money. The phone is a fax number, too.

Wouldnt be surprised but I wish I had seen it on ebay, might of been interested for someone in my family!

Might not be, could have been bid up on ebay and the buyer bagged out on the seller, so they moved to a place they figured they would sell it...OR...the buyer had an inspection and something is wrong with it....

Nathan, (roadhog0) look out, we (my son and I) are scouring the area for his first car. He wants a honda(argh) or an e30...there have to be a couple good ones around. Have fun at school!

I'd love to get my mom into an E30... And if your son decides he wants to go the Honda route let me know. My brother is one of the best Honda guys in the area and knows the local market in and out. He's just out in Maple Valley. I'll be up for Thanksgiving and hope to see some of y'all either then or when I'm back for a month in December!

Well, something is odd since the phone number given is a company fax number in PA. I tried. Also, why such a huge difference in price? His name (in a returned email) is also different from the one in the listing???

Phone: (570) 837- Fax: (570) 837-6104 814 Broadway Rd., Winfield, PA 17889.

Something's going on with that car.

The fan has red paint on it. It's missing the upper block off plate under the bumper andit looks like there is some bending going on in the valence. Also, AFAIK the spoilers (front and back) are body color from the factory.

I'd have to see it in person.
