Odometer rolled back, and the thing was written off around a tree. Odo records and salvage title hidden when brought into Canada.
Carfax also shows car started off life as a rental vehicle. Thanks codepoet101 for running carfax as well!

Hahahahha, I see this thing every day on my way home from work and I'm always wondering what is wrong with it.

Honestly though, are you really surprised?? It's a used car dealership.

Yeah, but it's the only 1st gen GS300 to come up for sale in a while - so of course I'm going to at least take a look at it. (i'm currently looking for a gs300)

I hope whoever had wrapped it around a tree had it insured for the extra few $$'s

I went by and offered him $4000 cash. He actually said he will call me back. I wonder how much they got it for?

If you want a car from California send me a PM and I can get one landed in Calgary for/or less than the black book value.

Any high-end car or SUV.

what has he done wrong?

I mean technically he's disclosed everything he knew.
I mean now I've told him the car's horrible horrible history - if someone went in pretending to buy the car and he didn't disclose the history then we could report him.

I just offered him $3500 and he said he's got too much money tied up in the car.
