wow something suspicious for sure. The NADA says low retail is 133, their lot picture shows 145, ebay is 99. Certainly does not make sense.
I bought a show quality 4x4 Chevy pickup once from eBay. The pictures were amazing, just showed a few minor digs and a couple of scratches. Bought it without seeing it first. My bad, when I saw it, started it, it was a disaster. The paint was shinny but because they buffed it to death, engine burned oil, no ac all the stuff they said it didn't do. A few weeks later I found out it sat in a field and was brought out to sell. The auto hauler that delivered it was very angry, the engine seals were all gone and dripped oil on the lower high end cars. Since I paid for it on eBay I couldn't get my money back. I paid 8000 for a 800 dollar (if that) truck.
The moral of the story is I see the pictures with minor scratches here and there. DO NOT BUY IT UNTIL YOU GO SEE IT. If the dealer is willing to sell way below NADA and with all his stipulations, there is something there.
