That is a cut and paste of the VIN with the Model. Below is a cut and paste
of the Carfax report on the cars odometer. I was told by the dealer that
Carfax is GIGO, but the mileage looks really odd to say the least. Advertised
as 50 K, Carfax has 100K:

The CARFAX database contains a total of 8 vehicle history records on this
1993 AUDI S4 QUATTRO (WAUHP84AXPN051905):

Note that this report was run BEFORE it was traded to the dealer then sold
from the dealer again. There would be two title transfers on there now. I
wonder what happens to the Carfax report when the miles are reported on the
title transfer and they are less...must be a BIG red flag...

Anyway, FWIW, it is the same car. It was actually in great shape for a 100K
car!
