Yup.
A total fraud car. At least two owner, and 100k rolled off the odometer.
I posted about it in the diesel Ebay Alert thread.
I looked at this car with 200K on the odo, rust and water in the footwells.
It's been on ebay a few times, always serious shill bidding past 5k.

Could it have been this listing on eBay?

Why not email the seller and tell them we are up on his little scam?

Yup, same one.

Guy's name is Steve.

He even put his phone # in the listing, 732-513-4863.
I don't know if I was the only person to take a look at it before the odometer was rolled back, but it also had rust, a torn driver's seat, ripped dash, water in the floorpans and spare tire area, and a vacuum issues (engine will not shut off w/o Stop lever).

Also take a look at the highest bidders on all 3 auctions... A little strange, wouldn't you say?

I emailed him during the second (of 3) auctions to let him know I actually saw the car with 100K more miles on the odometer, and he sent a brief reply saying that the NJ authorities got it wrong. Kinda funny. Ebay didn't do anything about the odometer fraud which was reported.
