Bet it's salvaged. Gotta think, how does a 4 year old car only have 8k miles on it? If it wasn't sitting in a salvage yard for a while, the previous owner must've only drove to the carwash and back for the last 4 years...

10k below what I paid for mine too and half the miles...

Car has 8 records in the CarFax. Something negative reported, guaranteed.

4 years old? its a 2011 bro

Anyways it doesn't really matter because I already bought my 08 ...just thought that was crazy. Anyone in the NOVA/DC area thats looking for one might wanna look into it at least! If there is nothing crazy wrong with it that is the deal of the century!

Also...I don't know if I trust carfax anyways. When I traded in my 07 Impala SS for the F they said it was a completely clean carfax even though I was in a 6k accident in 2009!

More like it was one of his track cars. A member here just bought a 2009 GTR with under 8,000 miles on it and it was completely legit....When you own 4 or 5 cars its actually pretty difficult to put more than 3-4k on them each year.

Wow, I would tend to think it is too good to be true, but you never know. I'm in VA as well, and before I picked mine up I was looking at a 2011 USB with twice the miles for about $12K more. White was one of the two colors I was looking for too (Obsidian being the other, and what I bought). In a way, I kinda hope it ISN'T true, because I will kick myself if I missed out on this deal.

A couple things to note though... there's no front plate and the tint is way to dark, both things illegal in VA. Also, the partial plate that you can see on the back does not appear to be a VA plate of any sort that I've seen and the car is missing an inspection sticker (mandatory in VA). Not saying all of that adds up to a bogus car... it could simply be registered in another state, but coupled with that price those are things I'd be curious about.
