The guy says it's in perfect condition, clean title and never been in an accident. Has 4,000 miles and he wants 15k. It's in New York, which may account for his blurb about being a "second home toy",
Where abouts? NY is a pretty big state.

I don't know. I was just curious because the price seems so out of whack and figured there was either a typo on the price or mileage, or that it was a salvage title or otherwise in an accident. That it's in New York somewhere was volunteered, and I didn't go further except to ask for the vin. There's either something very wrong with the whole thing or it's the deal of the century, but I would think anyone remotely interested would be checking this out with a vengeance.

I'm a little curious about a Michigan title being issued just last week ... and would it be odd for a 2002 to not be registered until June 2003?
