Well, you only need to look at the front leather seats.

Does that REALLY look like a 8,000 mile car?

It may be 80,000 Miles, And even then is maybe worth 13,000.

Those front leather seats look terribly worn and discolored. I like the exterior color though, price is obviously way too high.

I'm with everyone else on this one. These are 80K or more seats, not 8K. Or maybe he did an engine swap and the new engine supposedly only had 8K on it. Either way those seats are enough to make me pass on it.

EDIT: Now that I think about it my seats are at 120K and look perfect so either these were probably neglected, abused, or are super high millage.

if you really want the car ask for a carfax
+1 it is impossible for this GS to have 8k, unless he did a complete turn around meaning a full lap on the odometer. Check the full history on this bad boy and lose the rims. Seats all crack and notice what he says: "I take care of this car with a lot of CARE!!!" hahah

Sounds like a guy who doesn't have any idea what he's selling. Probably from Corona or cambria heights or something.

Gotta have more miles than that... look at the drivers seat... It looks like it's seen some HARSH mileage...

Not to mention that it's "Never been Accidented."
