Default Back on BAT - 4600 Mile Briarwood Pearl LS430UL

The low mileage LS that sold on BAT last September is back on BAT. It now has 4600 miles and is currently at $35,000. Here's the link:

I can't recall the mileage when it was originally listed. Was it 4100 miles?

BaT will show any prior listings on the current listing. It was 4200mi last go-around.

This is a little creepy. 2 options only:
1) Rich game-player like @S8ULATR explained who actually thinks they are going to turn a profit on $55k, or.........
2) Got it and something scary popped up which is highly likely. 4200/4600 is WAY too low for that age and unless maintained like a classic, there could be trouble there.

Does this seller actually think he can retrieve the $55,500 he paid a few months ago? This is really crazy!

Reading through the comments, the seller (i.e: the prior buyer) indicates that he was planning on retiring to a warmer climate. Circumstances changed and he will be staying in Illinois so he doesn't want to subject the car to the harsh winter. As a result, he has decided to sell it.

While it seems a bit peculiar, it is a reasonable explanation.

Will be interesting to see if there will be another buyer out there actually willing to pay that all time highest LS430 sales price.

Current bid is $40k. Wow. I mean, this car is stunning and if it were what it should be, $25k(?), I might consider, but......just but.
I read the seller's comments, kind of believable for someone with insane amounts of money, but if he can pay $55k for an 18 yr old car, why does he need to keep working? eh, still fishy to me, but who cares, I ain't biddin'.

$63,000!!!!!

2 bidders fought each other for 10 minutes until 1 finally conceded.
I cannot believe he made $8k (minus a few expenses).
