Sketchiness on Ebay, '89 90q

[Alexander van Gerbig]

    I have been toying with the notion of a second car, a quattro this time
around.  This would be my winter car and eventually maybe a turbo conversion
car.  The FWD turbo thing just ain't gonna cut it, but I'll keep my 80 until
it dies, too much invested to sell it.
    I saw a nice looking '89 90q on Ebay, in my area too, White Plains.
Title said '89 90 quattro 4x4, mint, one owner, clean Carfax.  I was on the
AOL instant messenger program today and caught the seller online.  I said I
might be interested, but I need details, service history, records available,
body condition, engine, and so on.  He never replied so I asked if he was
still there.  He then told me who wouldn't give me details because I wasn't
interested enough, hadn't bid yet basically.  Suffice to say I just told him
that wasn't the best sales tactic and left him be.
    I got curious as to why he couldn't give me details.  Luckily someone
posted the new URL for free carfax reports so I checked his VIN#.  It came
up clean, but 3 titles were issued, 2 in NY, so that could just be this
fellow moving around.  Though it has a title issued for Honesdale, PA. on
10/12 and then a day later it was sold at an auto auction, eastern region.
Wait I thought this was the original owner, says only one owner?  Since
10/13 it's had 400 miles put on it?  Sketchy.

Cheers,
