Is this a scam?

Hi guys, I'm in the market for an R53 so I've been searching around and came across this:

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/3193985552.html

The price is too good to be true, but at the same time, the ad looks somewhat legit.

Does anybody know anything about this car?

Thanks in advance!

What you said," price is too good to be true" is correct.

The ad has been around for a while, I believe on E-Bay as well as Craig's List.

Keep looking, good R-53's are out there.

Hope this helps...

There is no number on the car, the price is WAY too low. There was also one totaled in CA and another one caught on fire in CA. I would make sure it is not one of those 2 cars. Also, get the car number, that will help us identify the owner.
