Default What is this?

Can anyone tell me which package this is?

http://lancaster.craigslist.org/cto/1488173962.html

This car appears to be in nice condition but has been registered in four different states. Current owner says he bought it 5 weeks ago but is selling because he bought a Chrysler Prowler. Seems a bit odd.

Interested in your takes.

Thanks.

Looks like Modern Luxury trim.

Yes, it appears to be a ML. I think the seller may be a curbstoner (unlicensed dealer). Check to see if the title has his name on it. Most private Lexus sellers don't park their car on a nice residential street to take pictures (unless they live in an apartment of slum), nor do they remove the floor mats.

Interesting. The most recent title histories (CarFax) do not show that the car is titled in PA, although the pictures show it has PA tags. The seller is an active eBay seller, but this appears to be the first car he has sold on eBay.

Not to be naive, but what are the risks of purchaser from a curbstoner? I presumed that the car was parked in his driveway.

Its Me! I am not a dealer- I offer my phone on both craigs and ebay- Yet no one calls - Why guess - when you can call and talk like gentlemen.

Thats my house i took pics from and yes the car is clean- and there were no floormats cause my wife washed them with a hose and they were too wet.

Wheres the mystery???

We know its an expensive purchase and thats why we offer our home phone and address and you come and see what we are all about and if the car is what you want - you buy it or you don't- But again everyone is different and has different comfort levels and when it comes to a car - I am sure as car guys we have seen it all. I met a woman one time that sold a 45000 porsche 911 convertible for $75.00 cause she caught the husband cheating - I missed that buy an hour!

I will never forget that.

Joe: I'm interested in the car but would not be able to get to Lancaster to see it for a couple of days. Is the eBay sale absolute?
