I doubt it's a 5 speed otherwise i'd be all over it. Although "fair" condition means it was flipped 8 times on the 101 freeway.

Anyone have time to check it out?

Hm. I think alot of people use Kelly blue book as a rule of thumb for describing a car's condition. If you look at their description of fair it's actually pretty good.

I think a lot of people also use the KBB as a rule of thumb for pricing. A great majority of people just take their listings as gospel and don't do any further research.

I just checked their site because I was curious about what they said about my car. According to their site, my car is listed at $1,125. :wtf: I challenge anybody to find a 190D turbo for that low of a price. Mine sure as heck wasn't that low.
