the ad says 15.5k but still that is wayyy too little for a 02 gs at 34k miles especially a sports design one. I got my 01 gs300 for 13.5k but at 79k miles. also from brooklyn, but wow, i would jump on this tho, and then get the car carfaxed and all before anything. 15.5k or 13.5k for that car is robbing the bank, jump on it.

That smells fishy. If your interested in that deal I would check that car inside and out. Check the VIN.. that car could be salvaged (Even tho a clean title doesnt mean it hasnt been hit before). Notice how the back bumper and the trunk show orange peel.. I say the rear has been painted over.

Well if someone is interested, it's only in Bklyn so one of us could always go and take a look at it.

The car looks like it has over 100K on it. I'd pass as well.

Thumbs down

The rear bumper looks like it was repainted and doesn't seem to line up right and the paint match is off...Notice how the rear "L" emblem is missing and if remember correctly the sportdesign came with a rear lip trunk spoiler..Possible rear end maybe???

LMAO at all the detective work going on.

But the one problem your hypothesis' are running into is the snow on the ground. More than likely whatever went wrong with this car happened between the time the pictures were taken and now.

Gotta assume that the 'owner' is in love with his car as much as we are (why wouldn't he be) and if he's taking 10 or more pictures in the dead of winter then he definitely would have taken just as many when it's up for sale.

My guess would be some sort of water damage from the recent storms.
