14k miles....I don't believe it for a minute. Probably had a new odometer put in or someone rolled it back.

Might be legit...

A good friend of mine bought a Cadillac Fleetwood a while back and the car came with all the records, and was also a low mileage, near perfect car.

He said the dealer invoices were white for maintenance and blue for the body shop.

The car usually had two, one white, one blue for each service.

Change the oil, repair the fender.

Change the oil, repair the door.

Change the oil, replace chrome trim......

Getting the car into the garage was proving to be quite the challenge for the old man.

wanna bet???

Anyone want to bet an adult beverage?

I bet it is a scam. Take a look at that email address. You send them an email and then they sell your email address to lots of people. I've learned to spot them and use good spam filtering email site.

he emailed me 4 pics mostly showing the body work (from the inside trunk) done on the car. I advised him that since he is claiming low mileage and $6k, any astute buyer will want to scrutinize. Suggested many posting pic of the car and even joing this forum.
