Re: There are a few things wrong with this ad
LOL
lets see..
It's not a 97.
Is it really green?
The interior doesn't look to green either.
Where did he get this idea of a turbo?
hmmm...

Re: There are a few things wrong with this ad
There is even more wrong than we thought.

If I am reading correctly, the vin belongs to a white car.

Re: There are a few things wrong with this ad
Not to mention that according to the History of the VIN on the Ebay page, it has over 100k miles put on it in the last 2 months. I feel bad for the one guy who bid on it so far.

Re: There are a few things wrong with this ad
There are some jobs that put on 50k miles in a year, but not 25k miles in a month. That's ~1k miles a day.

think about that - that's practically an oil change 2x a week at 3500 miles per oil change.LeSabre in Buffalo wrote:There are some jobs that put on 50k miles in a year, but not 25k miles in a month. That's ~1k miles a day.
i hope somebody asks questions.

Re: There are a few things wrong with this ad
I just did
Hopefully something comes of this!I have a few questions about this particular Bonneville you have listed, and they are as follows:
The ad clearly states that it is a 1997, yet the vehicle pictured is pre-1996, I was hoping for some clarification in that regard
Also the ad mentions mileage that is inconsistent with the Vehicle history report of that VIN, I was hoping for yet more clarification in that regard
Another concern of mine is that of the drive train. The Bonneville was never offered with a 3.8 liter turbocharged engine, and the VIN does not indicate that this vehicle was manufactured with the supercharged variant either, I would like some clarification on that as well.
Finally, the VIN indicated likely belongs to a white car, was it repainted?
Thank you in advance for clarifying these matters prior to consideration of my bid.
