I attempted to buy this car a few weeks ago. The selling gave me this story about how the car was his uncles for years, then his dads, then he and his sister each drove it through high school... When I went to buy the car, they had no title, just a application for a replacement title front the dmv (which wasn't even in his name, supposedly his uncle). We went to AAA  and looked up records, the car had been sold half a dozen times in recent years and the title wasn't transfered properly a few sellers back. At this point I walked away while the seller harassed me and continued to try to explain that the paperwork was all good and the AAA dmv employee didn't know what she was talking about... Very shady people in my opinion and to top it off the car isn't nearly as nice in person as described.

I agree with you there. I checked out this car when it was first listed. Picture looked decent but seeing it up close is another story. Car registeration wasn't up to date and seller seemed a bit shady when asked about the title.

Did someone steal the front bumper? Or is this the rare retractable bumper?

 

As always I give extra points for trap mirrors

This car is in my neighborhood, definitely shady folks trying to sell, looks like someone picked off the BBS RS' it had 

[Neildo11]

It was listed at $6200 with the bbs rs's. He sold them and dropped the price to $5500, we made a deal at $4000 and now he's back up to $6500????

I also attempted to purchase this car last fall. The seller gave me a story about health issues, wouldn't budge on the price, and eventually stopped responding to my questions

I contacted the seller today. Evidently the car belongs to his Nephew who now lives in Chicago. I asked him if the car had any rust problems, he replied, not any that he knew of. I asked for photos of the trunk only to reveal significant rust problem in the spare wheel well area. I asked if he is flexible on price. He said yes, I offered 3K, he said he rejected five offers at 4.5K already. I told him that was before you knew it had rust. I asked him what was the lowest he would take for it he said 6K. I told him he deserves an honorary degree in sales from Harvard and bid him farewell. Interested parties be aware.

He told me it was his uncles car and that the uncle could no longer drive it, hence the sale...
