Interesting, but a dealership with a 0 rating and NO description, just doesn't sit well with me.. WTF couldn't they sell this car in 2 years, and where did the 346 miles come from??

Looks like it was a showroom model, and maybe managers drove it to and fro occasionally. However, a "0" rating on eBay tells me to run away if I can't go see the car in person. Maybe someone can run the VIN through carfax and/or OASIS?

Wasn't their flooding down there a year or two ago? I remember reading some other posts somewhere about having to be careful of car deals in Texas being "too good to be true" because they were actually flood damaged cars that were totalled and then "refurbished".

Thats probably the hardest 346 miles that car will ever see. Most demos have the **** driven out of them, seeing that the managers don't really care, they just know that the car is semi-fast and want to see what it will do.


Mushu's pretty cool too!

The car is in Pampa, Texas. At about 3,500 ft above sea level on the high plains, the last time Pampa flooded was when Noah was on his cruise.

Good, conservative folks, and no nearby colleges. This could be a GREAT buy. 346 miles in 2-1/2 years of test driving sounds good. Kept the tires turning just enough.

Just because the car is in one place doesn't mean it wasn't originally in a more flood prone area. Something's just fishy about this, just the one photo, no real details on the car, no details about the dealer. Who knows what the reserve is.......they might be trying to get 18-19k out of it.
