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? :bs:

hmmm... :-k

There is even more wrong than we thought.

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

It's not even supercharged if the VIN is correct.

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.

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. :ack:

i hope somebody asks questions. :)

I just did :twisted:
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.
Hopefully something comes of this!

Nobody ever said it was white, that was the color listed on the RPO report for the VIN that was posted.

This looks a little better

Oddly enough, I didn't get a response from the seller.

I remember you, but that doesn't change anything.

Unless this is a white curse reference.
