I like the $170k price tag here more than the one on ebay. I messaged them and also no response.

The new seller is the new broker, just trying to make more profit or find a sucker. They already offered the car to me at $190k.

I never got a reply when it was listed at $170, as few people pointed out it sold for around $155-160ish?

So the new seller bought it for $155-160kish and is trying to flip it? LOL

Not sure what they paid I just assume from some of the comments that were posted on fchat

 

[steve m]

Based on the broker's description on Fchat, the owner has consigned the car with them and the add here is bogus/unauthorized.

I agree they were just trying to find a sucker. Price already down to 190K.

Apart from an average representation of the 'paint job', what on earth has this example to do with Ken Miles ?
The mind boggles.. They didn't even get the engine right, transmission etc, let alone literally hundreds of other parts and details.
Please don't blame it on a virus..

Let alone the biggest miss- RHD.

Perhaps a distant relative of Ken Miles was in the same city as the car, briefly. LOL Basically it has nothing at all to do with Ken Miles, whatsover.
