Looking at an FD but it might be a scam

So I found this FD 6k. It says 27500 miles but the body shows some damage on the right rear and the seat looks pretty worn. Just wondered if anyone in the CHARLESTON, SC area might be able to take a look and get some compression numbers for me. Don't want anyone to go to far out of there way but definitely dont wanna jump in on this only to find out that its 127k miles instead lol. I'd be willing to give you some money in paypal for your time.

if you suspect fraud, there's a "report it" link at the top off page, just under the orange header bar.
