That was the classified ad, so for obvious reasons I called. A guy on the phone says he's selling for a friend out of town and I could come by to test drive it. I drove over and he gave me the keys and took a picture of my license. Didn't even want to go with me.
Took it out and drove it around and it drove great, everything worked except the right mirror which was converted over to a manual mirror (they cut the plastic and had installed a little lever). Full leather with heated seats, 6 disc changer, dual temp air, V6 3.0, and all the other stuff associated with an EX.
No dents anywhere, but saw one weird thing, the tailpipes were painted the same color as the car. :Q
Something i had noticed was the key fob didn't work and had the battery removed and it had a ticket on it that said "Year - 03, Manufacter - Honda, Make - Accord", sort of like the ones that you get when you take it in the dealer.
So here goes our conversation:
Me : So what's up with the ticket?
Him : Don't know why it's on there.
Me: Ok, well I'd like to take it in to the Honda dealer to have it checked over.
Him : Well, there are two other people that are coming to look at this tonight and in the morning, so you probably want to hurry that up.
Me: Ok, well I'd still like to have it looked at just to be safe.
Him : Ok, well.... I think you should know that, if you are going to use financing of any sort, this is a reconstructed title vehicle. That is why it is so much below NADA.
Me: AHHHH HAH! Ok, thanks. (me walking off)
Damn, too good to be true! 🙂
