"TMU" means True Mileage unknown... I seriously doubt you were missing that good of a deal. Probably an odometer rollback special...

^that actually eased my pain. I did not know what tmu stood for. I guess if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Here are the pics

Yeah the car is salvage with 200k miles. It was posted for a real long time on Craigslist, guess he had a hard time sellin it with that many miles.
