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? 1998 Silver Frost SVT Contour born on...8/28/01[/i] American Iron Shootout Radial Tire 2 Class Champion, Cecil County Dragway April 20, 2002

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".

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! 98 Black/Blue SVT #3829 of 6535

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. P.M.

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.
