Yeah, I don't know about that one...no reserve with a buy it now for $4,750? That's too good to be true....

Looks fine to me. A dealer is selling it, so if it's not as described you have a little leverage there. I would test drive it first just to make sure everything is ok, then consider it. Is that a VR4, or just a deceiving emblem on the valve cover? I agree it is somewhat fishy...

The auction has ended now for $127.50. The engine shown is a twin turbo engine as it has the proper intercooler plumbing. Maybe it has a salvage title. Notice the drastically different settings for the camber plates?

Hmmm, many of the photos look suspiciously similar to:

Yeah, I thought those two looked familiar. Not too many people would be willing to put in fake wood on the dash.

the VIN is definitely a VR4 VIN, and also the speedo does go to 180 mph, so that car is definitely a vr4.

also the boost pressure gauge is there and not a battery gauge.
