Scam check: Anyone know this car ?

A friend who is in the market recently found this 2009 DBS with 17k miles for $46k on Autotrader. Seems to me like a scam, but just thought I’d post it here to see if anyone has the history on this car or if anyone knows what these guys are up to. It was listed for a while then got taken down and now its back up. Through prior correspondence the ownher claimed it was a clean title and carfax confirmed that. Really strange.
thanks

Just cause it looks clean, it could need a lot of work. Could be worth looking into the VIN matches the build spec. Where is the car located at? Maybe a member on here could actually see it.

agreed ... good call on checking the VIN to see if it matches the build spec. Also told him that its prob worth it to call the last place it was serviced and get some information from
them as well.

The Ad is down again. It was fake, if you looked at any of the other vehicles in stock they were all 50% less than market or lower. If you clicked on the dealers actual site, not one of them could be found.

those are scams, they want you to wire them the funds and they will deliver you the car (which they obviously won't do)... most of the time its from dealer inventory websites getting hacked by a third party
