Default Check Out This 430 in PA, too good to be true?

http://autotrader.com/findacar/vdeta...r=&cardist=651

It is a 2001 gs430, silver, 17's, wood wheel, navigation 21k miles. has to be too good to be true, I am not close to PA so I don't think I will be going to check it out but if it was in my area I would go grab it in a minute if the history of the car is clean. I am not in the position to trade my car in or sell it just yet, need to take the stereo stuff out and maybe put it back to stock but have been lookin at 2001 430's and 300's. If anybody is close to it go check it out. You never know........

Didn't see anything describing the status of the title. Maybe it's a salvage title?

A good deal now could end up not so good down the line.

Default seller's website

Based on the following quote on the seller's website, all of their cars are insurance salvaged cars:

"Located in the Lehigh Valley, Executive Auto Gallery is a family owned and operated business, servicing our customers with insurance loss vehicles for the last 22 years of quality sales and tradition."

Thats how they get people suckered in!! There was some complaint about them on one of the car boards not too long ago about buying something that was mis-represented. Cant remember the board though.....

Default GS-430

I would be afraid to touch this car. This company specializes in providing Insurance Loss vehicles to their customers. Sounds like salvage titled cars to me. At least they are up front about it. There are ways to make them look pretty good, but I still wouldn't touch it.


Just my $.02

I am curious to see what a CarFax might show on this vehicle's VIN. Anybody enrolled?
