This is a big red flag to me as this person bought this car between now and October since I was talking to the 2nd owner when my car got totaled. I'm actually going to message the owner, curious of their take. I didn't purchase this one due to the repainted front end. The previous owner was very upfront about it.


Edit: They're also looking to make a good profit for their time. Considering an all original 25k mile example sold for 19k, this may be a little much for the market right now.

edit 2: If you are considering this car please pm me for more details. I have tons from the second owner who I believe owned it for a decade and change.

edit 3: hmm, car flip? I looked at the video the previous owner sent me. Back then, it has 91,830 miles on September 20th...So someone shipped it from NM, took a pic of it in CA for Reddit, and then lists it? Smells all kind of weird in my opinion.

^ that's great info. Do you recall the approximate asking price back then?

He had a listing on CarGurus too. I messaged him about it, but never got a response. A little while later, I got a notification that the car was sold. Seems fishy.
