Re: Anyone know the story on this car?



'Don't know the car but I agree that you tend to ask "what's the catch"?
This looks like a Silver and the mileage is low for the age of the car.  Did
it sit in someone's garage for a few seasons;  was it bought from an estate
settlement.  Perhaps Digesti in the Northwest can share some insights.
Also, since the VIN number is provided, you could run a Carfax for
accidents,clean title, etc.  Finally, if I were seriously considering the
car, I would take the seller's offer to see the car in the metal.  Failing
that, a pre-inspection report might be a good investment.  The ad copy is
real slick, - maybe too slick - like it was written by a pro.  Then, too, it
could simply be a great buy at the right price.
