2006 RL on ebay - it's a trap
Was just looking through ebaymotors when I saw a nice deal on an 06 RL.
Decided to check it out. This may save someone quite a bunch of money and for others...might be quite a headache.

I did find one good thing about the ebay listing. It showed me what my Bella Noche would look like with the spoiler and A-Spec wheels... I like the spoiler but think I will get different rims.

Reconstructed title. No way he's getting $18k for that RL.

There are so many of these out there.
I traveled to NoVa to look at two that were advertised as "clean titles" but trust me you can 100% tell when there has been work done.
I hope any eBayer pays close attention if buying site unseen.

when I was selling my TL buyers gave me a deposit before running CarFax. Then saw an accident and wanted price dropped 2k.
I coughed up all vehicle damage documents to show em that even considering the damage the car was still a deal.
I doubt anyone else would have been near as linient with them.
It did not help them being 1200 miles away.

Did you by chance go to a couple places in Manassas and Fairfax? I went to a couple used car dealers around those areas to check some rls they were far from good condition. But as you said advertised as clean title. So I just went to radley and picked one up just gave me that extra peace of mind.

haha I noticed that wood trim too - it's never a good idea to mix real wood with the fake stick-on stuff, but I like where the owner was going with it...I did sit in an 09 yesterday and I really liked that the wood trim now covers the area around the shift knob & cup holders - just a little more attention to detail...since the black plastic doesn't exactly excude "luxury"
