And if someone posted that on here as their own vehicle it would receive praise as being 'clean' or some other obscure adjective.

Those seats are horrible

What's with having one fog light cover gone and the other one in-tact? Did he try to rig up a ram intake?

NEVER A ACCIDENT WE GAURANTEE NO PIANT WORK
I thought the first pic showed the front bumper being a little off, the closeups confirmed it. It's been in a little front end boo boo.

No duh the tow package hasn't been used, it's a 4 banger

NO Paint promises = scratched to the metal.

Interior in pristine condition? The steering wheel is in used shape at best, and what about all the scrapes and stuff around the drivers dash area?

Funny how it's all written in third person as if some independent party reviewed the car, but no mention of anyone that might have done this... (In other words, he's doing all the talking.) All I can think of is a sleazy used car salesman

He's Missing the A/C fan knob too!!!

I wonder if he put the seat covers on to cover up some horrible disfigurments on the original upholstery?

I know but he has it listed as one. So, is he being dishonest there?

He want's to make sure that the people searching for a 4Runner SR5 end up seeing this one to, it's a seller tactic used often on Ebay. SR5 Must have a V-6.

Reflection? That's one strange looking reflection then!

I know how folks do that on e-Bay a lot but they usually put a comma in there or something so that you know what they are doing. He has it "listed" as an SR5. He even uses the SR5 nameplate when describing the truck on the page. Not just in the title. I'll send him an e-mail and see what he says.
