This is too good to be true.

2002 Suzuka, 3500 miles, $15k. No VIN provided -- think it's a salvage title?

Could be some rich guy just trying to get rid of the car and doesn't care to much about the money. Why don't you call him up and ask for a test drive.

Normally Id say that if you have to ask the question, it probably is "too good to be true." After looking at your link however, I think with Johnny C, it may well be worth looking into.

Please let us know what you find if you do!

Good luck,
Steve R.

Assuming of course, that it's "his" house!

if it seems too good to be true, it usualy is. might be the lighting but the right rear fender looks like it's a slightly different color, no? also, no plates I would sure call him see what he says, how willing to give the vin#. if he's rich enough to just throw away +/- $10,000 he might not be rich for long. or maybe.......

I think the reason the right fender looks that way is because of the lighting, looks like it's in the shadow.And if i were in the georgia area i would consider taking a look at it.What do you have to lose by checking it out.And the plate issue,it could be he didn't have it registered cause he didn't drive it too much.No point on having the plates on if it doesn't have tags on it.

It's also possible that they didn't want to advertise the license plate number. Many of us on this forum take the time and trouble to Photo Shop the license plate info off the pictures of their car that they post on this forum. Maybe this guy simply removed the plates before taking the pictures.

There are a number of explanations for what's going on. You only have a chance of finding out if you're willing to do the investigation.

Good luck,
Steve R.
