[s-cars] ebay ALMS TT: scam?

[chris chambers]

Different vin, same pics, 11,000 more miles on the suspicious car
than on the other listing.

Doesn't look good to me!

IS it possible he bought it, drove it to Florida and listed it on
Ebay with 11,000 more miles on it mistakenly using the wrong vin
and simply "borrowed" the pics from the previous owner?

I suppose but it's highly unlikely and I seriously doubt it!
