Several things are wrong with that ad.

1. They promote it as a "private party sale" and then call themselves "Autotwins".
2. They say "Autotwins - We are one of the world's largest vehicle brokers and take pride in our inventory."
3. "First and foremost, this is a private party sale and you will not pay any sale's tax in many states. This alone could save you thousands of dollars over a dealer owned vehicle." <---that's also illegal in many states...

Only thing I noticed was the license plate, hopefully he upgraded, and is still loving life.

Looks like it has the Traction Control option on the center console, which they don't mention in the ad.

Thanks for your responses.

I've been looking for so long that I'm getting impatient, but I don't want my dream car to become a nightmare!
