Too much for a 2k2. I paid only 24,500 for mine brand new.

Other than it being way overpriced for an 02 with that much mileage, it seems on the up and up.

they want $$$ upfront for it, then they deliver the car. Its not like they want 25% down, they want all of the 22K bux. I paid 20K out the door for my 01 GXE with 4 miles on it still in the wrapper right off the truck. I did the PDI on it myself and I was the 1st person other than the truck driver to drive my car. 22K bux for that car is insane. I also zoomed in on the picture and it looks like a 00-01 SE with just 02-03 tails. The headlights look like 00-01s.

I smell something fishy too. If owner is still paying for his car, you pay the lienholder and bank will pay the owner the difference. You don't write the check to owner and have the owner pay off his loan. He could dissapear w/ the check.

I like how the description says "current owner only put 10,400 mil in one year." They're trying to trick the person into thinking that the car only has 10K miles on it, when it's actually 30K+, and the past owner bought the car when it was around 20K. I wonder why this car has already had 2 owners...

Cautious wording. Bastards.

It smells fishy as well. The guy wants you to paid upfront as stated by
blackBirdVQ but the part he didn't stated was the owner will give you the
title three days later once it clears his bank. Three days is alot of time for
someone to disappeared. If you're going to purchase this car you better be
there inperson to do the transaction including paying the lien off.

Yeah... no one would pay 22k for that car anyway. The seller didn't even have any feedback. I am curious to see if he relists it.
