Listing seems fishy. The guy has really low feedback. For whoever is really serious in looking at this car, make sure you look into it deeper. Like maybe have a member here that is local to that car go check it out in person. Don't want anyone to get scammed here lol.

Correct... take a look at the rear license plate, it says "BLU LEX". Hence the reason why this auction and this seller seem sketchy. All four pics he posted in the auction look like old pics of when Adrian had it. He should be using current pics instead.

My take is :

He "re flashed the ECU" and blew the motor.

Why re flash the ecu, why pull the brakes off the front? Front bumper damage... I smell accident.

correct, dude who bought it from Adrian was Bluelex2, but don't know if he sold it again, or what the deal is? But I agree with others in saying something seems sketchy since the seller, whoever it is, is using Adrian's old pics, and not current pics.

Cant say "reserve not met" if no one has placed a bid. There has to be a bid to reject
