Default am i missing something????

seems like if this car is supercharged its really really tiny and not visible. Makes me wonder if they do sell it what kinda legal issues would take place

I don't see a supercharger either, but the FRCs are missing.

They're probably relying on the disclaimer to absolve them of responsibility for any inaccuracies (lies).

That's why you read the fine print.

pretty lousy paint job on the dash lettering, wonder what's hanging down where the air dam used to be, oh, the custom part must be the new "hide a charger".

"RUNS GREAT AND THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY INTO GEARS!"

These guys must not know much about cars. It's an automatic!

"THE SILVER EXTERIOR IS IN GOOD AND HEALTHY CONDITION..."

They also must be foreigners. I never heard of a car's exterior being described as "healthy".

I smell a rat here. The copied window sticker does say manual transmission. It is a 1lt with a base price of $46.1. Google the address and it is a shop next to an elementary school named traditional motors. nothing like the pic on ebay. And the healthy paint is an interesting remark as another op pointed out. buyer beware eh?

Maybe the supercharger is invisible. Thats where the $20,000 in "upgrades" in an otherwise fairly stock looking car is invested. Then again, if it is a "Custom Show Car" I would think you would want a visible supercharger so people could see it..... :p

A stealth Super Charger? Who'd a thunk it, more like , It seems there are more than a couple of false claims and possible faked documentation...........

More than likely just the wrong description for the pictures. Have seen that happen several times with cars and other items over on ebay. Someone gets in a hurry posting several items and gets things all mixed up.

I agree there is photo editing happening. I think it was just to enhance the picture... unsuccessful.

In pic 1 the driver side wheel is missing from under the car
in pic 2 the front air dam was removed...idk why
in pic 6 &7 there is no front air dam, it again is photoshoped out
In pic 26 the front air dam is photoshoped out, NOTE that the side markers are no longer blacked out in this picture


here is the website of the dealership its at
