TD on Ebay
I think there may have been some discussion of this car when it sold on Ebay a few weeks ago in California. Now for sale again in Colorado. Current seller says he bought it, drove it home, then an illness in the family forced a resale. Seems fishy to me. I asked if it could be viewed locally but no response to that question. Pictures are from the original listing.

It took me a few seconds to realize that I was seeing a manhole cover under the engine rather than a huge fluid spill... maybe its time to upgrade my monitor ;-)

There was a midnight blue 123 sedan I saw on ebay. Had mismatched euro headlights on it. I think it's still for sale.
My car's VIN number did not show up on the Russian site at first. I waited a few days, tried it again. Worked fine then.

I've run lots of VINs through the Russian site that didn't come up, but they'll come up on Carfax.
Car looks beautiful, but Seller is hiding something.

We thought the car looked beautiful the first time and that it was a rarity, now I'm not so sure.

For a car that has had "incrediable" care through out it's life, seems kinda strange that the head lights don't work properly
 also, if you look at the pic of the ID plate, the paint appears to have orange peel......a repaint?

Judging by the number/letter sequence of the license plates, those California plates were issued within the past year. Those plates have not been on that (or any) car for any length of time. It may or may not be an original CA car.
Ca plates are sequential. I got a set in Nov that start with 5WTY***
