Suspicious?

Appears to be same car listed in two different states. Also, $15,000 for a 2010 GS with 31,000 miles.

I would be very very cautious . It definitely appears to be the same car. Was it stolen? Does the vin number rivets look like they were new or modified? If it’s too good to be true then it’s probably a scam. He can sell it to a dealer for more money. I would not waste my time.

Certainly a scam posting. I didn’t even click on the links, but based on the OP’s posting, I’m betting it’s fake and they don’t own the car. They’ll want money wired to them and then the listings go down. ( at least I think that’s how the scam works)

For reasons I don't understand, most of the scam vehicles on CL have an odd price, like $17,832. If you go to the "reply" button, there is also usually an out-of-state number. If you look closely, you can often see that the pics were take in a setting not like your home area (ex: cars advertised in Vegas in front of a brick house, with a forest in the background).

There are many, many out there.
