1) Considering this is a dealer, they probably are going to have the reserve price set too high. And why haven't they been able to sell it to people on the lot?

2) I don't like the fact that they plainly state their services include "mechanical repair and rebuilding" and "body and frame reconditioning."

3) Seller plainly states "The body is in absolutely perfect condition with no dings dents or Scratches" yet in the close-up of the front wheel there is plainly a dent in the lip of the wheel well at about 11:00.

If they're going to lie to you in the ad, what do they NOT have the guts to tell you?

I did a CarFax report on this car and it last went through the "Eastern Region Auto Auction". People may disagree with me, but for my part this is a very, very bad sign.

This looks like a car you'd want to see in person before buying.

If you want to have some fun with the seller, send them one of those "Ask seller a question" E-Mails with "Hey, is there any sign of repainting on this car?"
