You can’t other than to make an assessment of the cars physical condition relative to the odometer reading. Worn out driver seat, center console and steering wheel on a low mileage car is a potential red flag. Then pull both Carfax and Autocheck to compare all records, miles and timelines. If things don’t smell right take a pass and buy the next car - there is always one more out there to find.

There's a chance that every car has a mileage blocker but it's pretty unlikely. I also had the benefit of seeing this car in person. It was in better condition than the vast majority of CS's I've seen. And the reality is that the majority of the CS's out there are 3 owner+ given that these were mostly leases when they came out and resold in ~2021 when the lease was over. For $60k (not $70k as you mentioned) all in for the condition and the low mileage, this car was a great deal. So much that I bid it for whatever it's worth. In addition, the lip was OEM and in very good condition which most people crack. PPF on car looked to be in good condition, tires were fresh. It was a very clean car and to be honest, I regret not bidding more. |

Based on that car’s history, I think it’s good you didn’t bid higher. You will find a cleaner example. |

I'll take a replaced OEM lip over a broken one which are sooo common.

Talk about sketchy! matt@autotalent gets called out and they just delete the for sale thread. The CS is still available on eBay so do your homework. WBS8M9C52J5L00896 https://ebayvehicle.com/app/NfuM%20C...0eBay%20Motors Here is what I had posted in the sale thread… Not all is as it seems. 5+ Owners Accident was listed as severe. Auction announced as structural damage: - Left Side Damage or Repair Reported - Right Side Damage or Repair Reported - Rear Damage or Repair Reported - Damage or Repair to Bumper Reported - Damage or Repair to Quarter Panel Reported - Damage or Repair to Axel Reported No longer has Carbon Ceramic brakes but steel. That’s $10,000+ difference right there. If you really want to buy this, go on eBay and save $4,000. It is listed there for $66,995. https://www.ebay.com/vmw/vhr?vin=AQA...1pIiZ3nyi9Q%3D Sorry, but it pisses me off when a seller isn’t transparent. They intentionally omit very relevant facts and try to present something for what it’s not. A clean CS this isn’t. Last edited by Ev0lutionx; Yesterday at 09:02 AM.. |

Damn even vendors on here try to get over on members. Never liked auto talent and all the shit that the guy Justin was doing just reiterated that fact. Now another employee just continuing the trend I guess.

Not a good look for an official forum vendor
