Once again, not mine.

This seems a little fishy. Same dealership/seller, exactly the same color/interior - different vin plates though. You can still view the pictures on the 374 mile one and they are actually different pictures as well... Did these guys find a ship container somewhere or what?

Anyway, for those kicking themselves for not snatching up the first one, here is another one.

This "first" one with 374 miles (now sold, listing down):

Well if it is fishy, they have Carfax reports as well, looks like form 2 different dealers, one is Chevrolet, but maybe they changed brands over the last 11 years? My guess is someone actually bought a couple of them and stored them from new down there.
And the pictures aren't exactly the same, there is a mark on the floor, and the valves are in different position. Looks like they have a good setup for photos!

 

Same tires. Same tag. Same phone number. Both ads active when I clicked.

A while back I was hunting a Mini with very specific equiptment and found a surprising number of dealerships across the country connected through some far off corporate ownership. I discovered this by calling on the same cars often at different prices at different dealerships. When questioned they would say the car was "just sold" to the other dealer or they confused the listing information. I have never run into the same differnt VIN though. I imagine they will blame the photographer for a mix up.

What was consistant is that once they get your number and email address they flood you with spam. Hyundai dealerships seem to be particularly aggressive in this.

 

I saw the one with 374 miles and it was legit!

 

Can you go check this 2nd one out too ?

 

VQ,

I'm in Houston so it would be a 260 mile trip one way. The place is legit. The have s 7 day 250 mile no question asked return policy and they deliver to you and will pick up if you return the car for free.

Been watching this car for the past week or so. Looks to be in great shape. Interior pics clearly show it wasn't driven much. Only concern is that CarFax & Autocheck reports don't show any oil changes performed; only inspections (there was 1 service visit shortly after taking delivery, but nothing specific is listed). Mileage doesn't call for an oil change, but 11+ years is a long time for the original oil to still be in the car. At least one wouldn't have a long trip home as a concern with factory oil still in the Coupe since VROOM offers free shipping (included in price) to anywhere in CONUS.

Still watching,

 

OEM Varta battery has been replaced.

 

A hands on inspection is darn hard to beat.

With such bargain car rental rates it would be worth a fast trip out just to hear it, smell it and run a hand over the paint. If they will ship free just take the rental back where you got it saving drop off fees and all those unfun interstate miles on the Crossfire.

Alternatively, you could google prepurchase inspection services, pay a few bucks and extend a lot of trust.

ps

Like that jeep I see in your signature.

 

On the other coupe, they had replaced the battery, tires, headliner, and changed the oil.

 

Conducted a website chat with VRoom yesterday. Disappointed in that the sales person couldn't tell me how they acquired the coupe. Said she only knew what was listed on the CarFax report.

If it wasn't that I was also looking at a very nice 2008 Yellow Roadster with low mileage (13k), I'd go get this coupe. Yellow roadster was a corporate executive car and was very well cared for. Dealer has called me back 2x and dropped their asking price.

Still watching,

 

That's our 1995 Rio Grande with 110k on the ODO. Still looks like new. We get offers to buy it almost everywhere we go with it! Last of YJ Series (rectangular headlights). Jeep introduced the TJ series (round headlight) with the 1997 model which came out early in 1996. Actually never was a 1996 Jeep Wrangler.

 

Agreed---the sales folks are clueless. If you'd like I can give you the name of a contact there that may be able to give you more history on the car.

 

Sale Pending!

 

I found it interesting, if not amusing, that they listed as "entertainment" a shot of the driver's side seat controls!

 

If it was an SRT6, a shot of the gas pedal with that notation would make sense.
