His reserve was met somewhere before $2,240. He doesn't shoot very high does he?

Hi! I am your fellow skepticist!

1. No pictures of mechanical parts.....no pictures of engine bay, underbody, trunk(subs?).

2. Since when did Neuspeed make an intake for the CL? And if they did, wouldn't it be shown in the advertisement within the multiple pictures?

3. He has TWO sets of 18" wheels, those alone can be sold on E-bay for his reserve price.

4. WHY would this car be painted a nice custom color FIVE weeks before being sold, without good reson to sell? Most people who invest alot of money into their car mention reason to sell(for cheap too!), including --moving, baby, job loss, illness.

5. He does not mention his grille---virtually ANYONE who has a CL and replaces their grille TALKS about it! This guy......NOPE!





FINAL JEOPARDY..............This is what happens when you spend too much money on your car and get mad when your V6 tranny goes out and/or your car smokes excessively.


ANSWER...........sell your car cheap on E-bay with no guarantees or mechanical information!

Dre brings up some really good points. I think it says that he got the paint job 8 months ago, which makes more sense. But why would he buy Axis Spider 18's about a month before selling it, when they cost around $1200 - $1500, and his reserve has been met around $2000. This seems a little bit suspicious, when he could probably sell those wheels themselves for around $1000 if they are that new. It's a damn nice CL, and i think it either has mechanical problems or the owner is really desperate.

I'm thinking bogus auction - seller has 0 feedback and the name is 93faststang? Probably got the pictures off the web somewhere.

yeah whoops i meant 8 months...the wheels were 5 weeks old....and I see he has a pic of the engine, with a blue coupler where the intake would go, but no pic showing the surrounding with his custom blue paint job...


I live near him, maybe I can email him and call him out.....hell, I could buy it and part it out for more than 2500!

" Q: do you prefer cash or check? and who do i make it out to?"
" A: cash is always better but i will take certified money order or check"

:thief:

i too think its a scam. i questioned him on the grill, and lip to which he hasn't responded.

"hi. i'm interested in this as well, but a few questions: 1. do you have any other pictures of the engine, preferrably one of the intake? also, a better picture of the front end? (lip and grill, they don't look stock, but i could be mistaken) 2. transmission - still on your first one or has it been replaced? automatic CL's are notorious for going out. thanks for any help you can give me!"

it's been 2 days. i know if were trying to sell my car, i'd be all up on answering questions possible bidders asked.

Does everyone else here have a discolored passenger side airbag like that one in the picture? I've seen that color mis-match on wrecked cars before. Where the new airbag cover doesn't exactly match the dash.

yeah, airbag covers that are different colors or are not aligned perfectly into the dash have been replaced. carfax is just about worthless, so many people can go to a local bodyshop, and as long as the police weren't involved, carfax will never know
