You may be seeing a copy of the ad, cached in your browser. I checked it again, and still just see the message saying that it is flagged.

I get the idea that people flag ads because someone is selling a car that is more desirable than theirs, for a lower price.

About that eBay ad, I've only bid on one car on there. It was a 300TD (wagon) at a dealer in west county, and I had driven it before I bid. I would never bid on a car without driving it.

That car was pretty decent, but of course not perfect. I decided to bid 6K for it, but it sold for nearly 10. Well, good for them. I got my '96 for less.
