Well, at least you were fortunate enough to discover that BEFORE you bought it. Good luck with the hunt.

Good thing you caught it. The stupid crook should get stuck with it and take a massive financial hit. Good luck with the search.

Its one thing to fail to disclose something, but to make stuff up to try to cover it up is wrong.

Luckily, CARFAX bailed you out of a crappy deal.

It's always a good idea to look closely at the car, too.
It's hard to cover up major damage; even if the frame is straightened it still doesn't look like virgin material.
It's probably good to be cautious even if carfax is clean.

05 6speed black on black, 17k miles with NAV is pretty hard to come by especially when you find it for 25,200...o well ill wait for my deal to come by i got nothin but time. who knows maybe ill come into a lot of money this winter and get a TL type s next year
