That's pretty cheap for an F, even if it is an '08. If you're considering checking out this car in person make sure you find out its complete vehicle history before moving forward. It doesn't help that the dealer has a poor rating though.

Also, I didn't know the F came with heated AND COOLED seats.

Hmmmm car fax report states 2 owners, both leases.....and absolutely no records between 67 miles and 37202? First registered owner as a California car in Atlanta GA?......now in dealer inventory at novato CA. Very fishy!!!

That is ridiculously low. There has to be something wrong with it and the dealer is trying to dump it. My guess is the seller got the dealer to buy it and they have since uncovered a big problem...that is a guess though.

BIG SCAM-THEY WILL YOUR MONEY

The review:

This so call dealership is a scam. They are lying trying to get you to wire money and vanish with it. I proposed to bring the cast and they, tried to discourage me and told me that it would take 2 days for them to to give me the keys. I asked to see the car but they would not show it to me. In addition the cars they have listed, are listed with other dealerships, most of them in California. I am contacting the police to get these people arrested. They sent me a bogus purchase agreement.

The Auto Check checks out clear with actual Odometer tracking.

BTW, if your "emailing" dealers about high end cars, they will respond with typical "how is your credit", that does not mean it's a scam. This F Autocheck AND CarFax checks out fine. All dealerships in general usualyl get "bad" reviews. I Own a car dealer, we have SUPERB customer service yet the few that become upset, are **** etc always go throw a negative review.

Simple, the dealer might have just got a CHEAP deal at auction.

I purchased a 11' Evo GSR with 9K miles last week for $25,400 at auction and we sold it on my lot for $32,995. It happens, doesn't mean its a scam especially since its on cars.com and not Craigslist or random website.
