C'mon, get real. Maybe half that. Water stain on package shelf? Leaking rear window? That thing should be perfect.

Perhaps he is waiting for someone dumb enough to offer him $40-50K believing it a good deal

Well the $125k 6.3 was beat around a lot, maybe he thought he could find a sucker. When Al told me about it, my first thought was he hijacked and Ebay auction and ID and was trying to sell a car he did not own.

Al: we need to go check out this car tomorow! I'll bring my camera. hehe

Dang, too bad I wasn't in TX I would tag along and poke fun at this guy, maybe shine a flashlight in his eyes to see if they're dialated and red

I like the fact that everything is "100% functional" yet "(When the car is started it starts very well, however the steering system is noisy when cold. There is also a small water stain in behind the backseat by the speaker.)"

What a douchebag to mark it up $50k and still not reseal the PSP and get some carpet cleaner from Target!

Wow. In my usual search on ebay for cars near me, I saw that $75k one and thought - odd, the car has Cali plates. Now I know why.

And the California plates are a recent series, too: 5TSZxxx issued around December 2005.
Looks like it's really being banged around by greedy flippers.

This guy really takes the cake though.

His ebay seller's name is an Iranian one, take it for what it is worth....

I sent the seller a message and told him he was nuts. An insult to the old car hobby. He might get $35k tops. Anything more and I'll eat my hat.
