Something is wrong in this CL ad-'08 TL Type S

I saw this ad in the S.F CL and although most of the car looks right the front end does not. Is it me or is there something wrong here .......

Seem like they replaced the original bumper with a 04-06 bumper

It's probably a real Type S, but only way to tell is to see the engine bay.

It's gotta be a real type-s - it has Type-S seats, steering wheel, all doors are type-s interior, red dash and red center clock, even the pedals are type-s.....the chances of someone getting all of that and putting it on a base TL are....slim to none.

If it really was a salvage rebuild, someone went to incredibly stupid great lengths to make it look like a type-s.

That being said, LOL @ this car. Look at the pic of the gauges - they are smeared over. The car isn't even cleaned up properly. The place selling it is probably some scheister operation that buys beat up cars like Type-S TL's with front end collisions and base bumper replacements for $7k at auction because nobody else wants them and they such a terribad reseller that they can't afford good inventory.

I feel bad for anyone who buys this car. $20,900 is a stunning ripoff..
