I came across it and just posting this to see if anyone is interested in looking into it. Maybe have some fun with the "seller" and scam him? lol jk. Definitely too good to be true

prob blown engine LOL

if it was real someone needs to jump on it.

you can get a used engine for about 3500 so add that to the price

Bit odd that all the pictures are taken in different locations.... street, driveway, garage...

Well, the VIN number is invalid .. it should be JH4NA1155MT000310 assuming the last 6 digits are correct. He does sort of refer to the fact that someone has accused him of having a wrong VIN but then brushes it off.

If everything is legit, this would definitely be a good buy

Isnt that the exact NSX for sale in our own NSX Market? http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158559

One of the photos is the same, or taken at the same time. Notice the white truck in the background. I say the craigslist post is a scam, since the guy is asking for $23k here.

Great detective work! I am impressed. :biggrin:

So I spoke to the "seller" when the ad first appeared. Sent an email and he replied with his number. Sounded legit for a bit at least. I asked for more pictures and he sent me the pictures from the ad, in the EXACT same resolution!

Anyhow, the ad is gone now, but a new one has appeared! http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/2892283005.html

Looks to be the same city as the original ad! Someone go bust this guy! Or go get one of your law enforcement friends to!

The 2nd car is totally different though.. actually looks nice.. lots of mileage though... still wouldnt trust it.

Guess it's been removed

Hmm...15k for a salvage title 150k mile car that needs new clear coat and possibly paint, re-upholstery and almost certainly needs 5k+ in deferred maint. One also has to factor in costs associated with the purchase of wheels that aren't fugly, and tires. Those pics have me wanting to photoshop one with 24's to see how much worse it could possibly look. But as the ad says in not so many words, drive as is and watch heads turn to laugh at you and feel sorry for the car, or re-paint it and spend all of your hard-earned money to get a car right that won't be worth what you put into it. Granted, they are reliable cars if properly maintained but what really gets my goat is the fact that the seller states that it's the most reliable car they've ever owned. Are you kidding? They've only put 5k on it in 5yrs of ownership! (Probably b/c they didn't want to change the overdue tb/wp.) Heck, I could say the same thing about a Fiat with those figures! Some people cease to amaze.

If I wasn't deployed now I would definitely call to see if in fact its a real person that can at least verify the vin.

I tried to contact both of those ads and never received an email or call back.
