#1) 03 Buy it now on Ebay of $68,500

same car on Auto Trader but $70,500 here

This car has never been titled. Person selling me said it was driven by owner of Acura dealership and sold to him a month ago. He never titled it because he has dealer tags........sounds suspicious to me. I definitely am NOT purchasing this one because the situation sounds too shady to me.

Carfax says it was originally purchased in NY date unknown and is now in Dallas, Texas at a dealership. Dealer told me that he did a car swap with a dealer he works with in NY who wanted one of his Porsche's. He said he took the NSX because he didn't need anymore Porsches and thought it would be more fun to sell.

This one is at a dealership in Lakeland, FL.
It was originally leased by someonein Ga on 4/23/03 with 53 miles. Somebody else leased it on 4/23/04.
It is now at a dealership in Fl only 6 months later and has 8,400 miles. Carfax says it was purchased by the dealership at an auction on 9/1/04 where it was listed as a fleet vehicle.
added 10/13
WARNING: Since it wasn't far from me, I went to see car #4 even though I had already purchased another. The salesperson at this dealership told me his wife bought this car brand new from an Acura dealership in DC 18 months ago and that he was only selling it because she wanted something else. As you can see from the carfax info above, that was totally false. Driver's side front fender has also been replaced, but is not listed in carfax report.

Kelly Blue book says the Retail price of these cars should be $83,650
Private Party value should be $76,500
Trade-In should be $69,525
They are all selling for less than trade-in cost.......do you guys think the prices are too good to be true if there isn't some problem in these cars past?
Ebay and Autotrader have similar cars selling for prices in the $80k's. Would you consider purchasing any of these or am I being stupid to consider it?

That was a lie, because I already knew from Carfax that the car had 2 different leaseholder's in GA, that his dealership bought it at an auction on 9/1/04, and that it was also listed as a fleet vehicle in the auction. He also told me this goofy story that he was only selling it because he got too fat to fit in it anymore......but he wasn't even fat.
