He's in Alaska. Maybe frostbite caused his fingers to peg an extra zero at the end.

That car, after that long of a storage will have alot of problems that need fixing, who knows if it was stored correctly, it may still have the original coolant in it for all we know.

And the guy is too cheap to list pictures on his ad! I might have considered buying it until I saw it has a ding and a scratch? What is this world coming to? lol.

I've seen a guy offer a PSX (PlayStation) game for $450. A game that should've gone for $45. I'd say..............ah forget it. Humans have way too many problems with them to diagnose.

One way to find out if the car exists. Request pictures of the car and the odometer reading.

If the car was the same as when it came off the assembly line with no scratches,dents,etc..
And had been stored in a climate controlled enviroment with all the precautions taken to preserve it. And I had alot of money, I would definitely buy it.

If it really has only 1000 miles,then it shouldnt be too hard to determine that.
Carpet,pedal pads,engine bay,underbody,exhaust.....ALL should be like new.....seriously,1000 miles is nothing! Not even one oilchange,milage-wise!
Even if it had 10,000 miles and he turned it back to 1000,it would still probably look and drive like new.

If its all true,then this is a great vehicle for someone.Personally,Im not trusting enough to buy something like that online.Id have to be there in person to determine condition before plunking down that kinda money......but you can be damn sure I would,if I had it!

Got the pictures of everything in the process of posting them. All I can say is wow, dead on I have no idea why he didn't post pics to ebay. It would only help his sale.

Also he stated it was stored in a heated warehouse in one of the emails.

my 7 was stored in a heated ware house as well but it had 28000m on it when i bought it so its not near as clean as that one. i mean wow its like it just stepped out of 1985. but 30000$ thats way too much even if it is new.
this kinda car should be in a rotary museum or something
