I'll see your fluffy corrosion deposits and raise to a 850 with an owner "on his knees", interesting sales strategy...why bother with photos when they are this bad?

He has potato juice on the lens of his potato camera.

I don’t understand why so many people think a nice place for pictures is a gas station, at night, or in a car wash stall.

Edited title to capture location and model. Looks like a dreamer….no clutch, not much. No shifter, no grifter. No waggle, don’t haggle.

Maker of the listing isn't in possession of the car, the shop that has it doesn't own it; lots of moving parts in the sale, and of course, ODO.

Green '98 S70T5 auction in DC 6/8
https://www.capitalautoauction.com/inve ... 94b457d669
Given how the tan interior looks I'm tempted to believe the miles.
https://dp4o795wajnwf.cloudfront.net/ey ... RlIn19fQ==
Even the steering wheel isn't hateful. This was Somebodies Car, as opposed to an apartment parking lot abandoned project.
I don't have any space under the trees, nor space in my bank account to chase this one.

(I still don't see any way to get a clean pic from their webpages.)

Right click on that pic, copy the image URL and paste it into the image BB code.
That is a really clean looking car though, that interior is mint.
