    It's in Portland, Oregon but advertised on Miami-Dade C/L? That's really weird. I wouldn't go for this unless and until I had the paperwork in hand to inspect against the car itself. My Spidey-Sense is tingling on this.

    You get these knuckleheads that put their vehicles on CL in places FAR from where the car actually is. Drives me nuts.

    Also take the pictures in a consistant lighting condition, I can't tell if the paint is that bad, or if it is just the sun/shade lighting that makes it appear to be that bad.

    Considering it's red, it's just that bad, IMHO.

    His phone number is Oakland, CA based, and the pictures look like they could have been taken there too...

    He must be in the Service, when I was in the Navy it was very common for me to have Plates from 1 State (often expired), Drivers License from a 3nd, and Insurance from a 3rd state.
    most Cops would cut me some slack about it if they pulled me over. I wonder how well that would go over today? that was 35 years ago. Wow I am getting old!

    You can see where someone buffed out a small section of the hood. I always think lazy sellers do that to show if YOU are willing to put in the time, not him, you could end up with a decent looking ride. Of course, he's still asking the kind of price a detailed car commands. More of that PROJECTING.

    It could be. We always had Michigan plates wherever we lived. I don't see any DOD stickers on there though.

    I like how he glosses over the AC blowing cold with a fresh recharge. Recharged with what? Likely a quick and dirty 134A conversion that apparently leaks so they also probably used some leak sealer when they charged it which means you have that crap to contend with now.
