On eBay - Is this a good deal?

Too bad its automatic....What would be a guesstimate for the FMV of this car?

I wouldn't go near it. Aside from all the WVO crap, he talks about 18K miles on a rebuilt engine, but doesn't talk about how many total miles are on the car. The add is long on BS and short on any actually info. This guy is just trying to cash in on the whole WVO thing with what appears to b a pretty average car.

It looks to me like its been painted... the bumpers shouldn't be green looking and the upholstery doesn't look original for some reason IMO.

Craig - Interesting, think your right about the wvo sell...seems like he's getting quite a few bids, though, so people are falling for it!

Marcb - yeah, bumbers should be black. The one interior shot shows the headrest a different tone of palomino than the rest of the front seat, which is different from the rear seats. Probably pieced together from other cars, unless the front seats were covered and all the other leather changed colors.

I hate ads with that much crapola! You would think with that much blah blah blah about the engine you would get more than one pic?
I don't think I've ever had a cylinder with 400#, much less rebuilt an engine for that reason.......

The upholstery also looks alot like MB Tex to me in a leather pattern... I don't know why... Also, all of the WVO talk is a bit much.
