Yeah a bit to good if you ask me. It may be legit but I'd bet on close inspection it's been wrecked.

Maybe not though.

Get the VIN and run a CarFax on it...my account expired on the 27th of this month. I just needed it while I was searching for my rig...

Its 2WD. About a month ago I saw a 2001 Black Sport Edition in the newspaper with 70K miles for $12,900. I called the owner about 3 times before giving up and a few days later it was removed from the paper. Never did find out if it was 4WD or anything.

I was recently burned by a carFax report.

I bought a 98 BMW 740IL, car fax report was clean. it had only 60k miles on it. Well, after I bought the thing and inspected it closer, I realized that the front end had been repainted (overspray on the rubber inside the engine compartment). That didn't help when I went to sell it Anyway, I would say if you're going to buy, check the ride over very closely and in person if you can. Car Fax means nothing IMHO. Thats only reported accidents.

I would not rely too heavily on carfax, I'd say it's only 75% accurate, there are a lot of other things that does not get reported on carfax.

Also, beware of buying ebay cars from Texas (Houston) and Florida. They have laxed guidelines regarding flooded and salvaged titles.

This one seems somewhat legit if you check his/her ebay feedback.
