So that was back in October. It is back again with 250 additional miles on it, with new pictures. Someone should tell this guy which side of the depreciation curve this car is on (i.e. waiting may not be wise).kevm14 wrote:https://newlondon.craigslist.org/cto/6732582585.html
Fairly uncommon to find something this low mileage, and this clean overall (some buff marks in paint but it's black) locally. I am a little suspicious about this car. Mainly the ad text. It sounds like someone bought it to flip. I know it is registered but if this was owned by an actual enthusiast, I would expect a lot more text, not a bunch of classic sales pitch items ("runs like new" is a red flag). Says one owner but $100 says he was not the original owner. No one says "one owner" if they are the owner. They say "I bought this car new in 2005" or whatever.2006 CADILLAC STS-V,,SUPERCHARGED LOW MILES - $18500 (RI)

Flipping in and of itself is not an issue. I just worry about more unscrupulous things like accident repairs (perhaps also undocumented), floods, etc. I don't know that this is bargain basement cheap for the mileage, but it's definitely on the low end for the mileage, at least based on what I know. I have done no recent market research. Point is, if it is a flip, then that means they have EVEN LESS into it than this price, which already seems good.
I see more than 1 Michelin and at least one Continental. Yeah, this car would need to be looked over very thoroughly, and obviously a Carfax for good measure.
It's just a little bit too...."if I picked this up for $14k I am sure I could flip it for $18k, it presents well, low mileage, all the classic things."
It just seems like a trap. I don't know that I'd call it a scam (it would be a scam at $5,000 or whatever) but it seems like the kind of thing that someone would be like "I can't believe it, I found this super clean, low mile STS-V, and it's local, and the price is actually reasonable" and then it just turns into a disaster. I'd rather pay less for a higher mileage example (with some pretty comprehensive history).

I think he had already reduced the price - I may have posted that. Anyway down to $17k. He's clearly inching his way down and taking months to accept slightly lower figures. So obviously he probably wouldn't let this go for $15k. Though 46k is actually pretty low mileage assuming no sketchy history.2006 CADILLAC STS-V,,46,000 MI,SUPERCHARGED - $17000 (WARWICK)
