Look at the last pic, looks like he took out the cats (or resonators) and ran straight pipes. Make sure it will pass emissions before u buy. Was the 90k service completed? tell the dealer to give u a print out of what was done. Good luck.

Greetings Gents
Cmon guys just because a car is priced low dosent alwayas nessacarily mean something is wrong with the car, There are filthy rich people out there that will part with there cars just because... I heard that people will actually give there cars(lexus,bmw,benz etc..) away free to relatives just because they have a new maybach in there drive way or a car of some sort.

wow, I thought my mileage was high with me soon to hit 125K
lextout is right sometimes you can find a too good to be true deal. shoot I did.
but a 9 year old car with 137+ on the clock, i can definitely see going for that price. no matter how well conditioned. and some people just throw out a price that they are willing to take for the car.
BUT also make sure you have a trusted mechanic check it out THOROUGHLY
I didnt like some of the photos because they focused on some of the more insignificant parts such as the mirror, the sunroof, and some pics looked photoshopped to crop out some things.
But I do believe that this deal can be possible with the car being in good condition.
