Carfax please. Should I buy?

Well I know that isn't a photo of the car they are actually selling. That photo is a 1997 NSX -T owned by Chris Mundy of Indiana and was the Picture of the Month on this website a few months ago.

So in my opinion the seller is being dishonest right from the start by using a photo of a car other than the one they are selling, but not stating that fact anywhere in the ad.

In fact I think it is actually illegal for a dealer to do that. It's probably not illegal for a private seller, but it's certainly not the most straight-forward way to sell a car!

The wheel seems to be stick out too far and camber seems too much. Or maybe it's just the camera angle.
