from the ebay description..... Honesty is a virtue!

*****PLEASE READ******

THIS CAR HAS HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE SOME DOUCHEBAG BLEW IT UP ON A TEST DRIVE. THE ENGINE AND BOTH THE OIL COOLERS ARE BRAND NEW FROM LOTUS. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. SO YOU ARE REALLY GETTING A BRAND NEW CAR. IT ONLY HAD 3000 MILES ON IT BEFORE.PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL CALL YOU WITH ALL THE DETAILS. I WILL EVEN GIVE YOU THE NAME OF THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO WORKED ON IT IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK WITH HIM.

..............interesting. Sounds like he's not to be trusted either. Must be a file photo, because those wheels are typically only offered on the sport package.

The whole thing smells a bit fishy. I'd run the VIN before I even took the time to go see the car.

Those 16" wheels are standard. The sports pkg. 17" forged ones are those on the right.
