e-Bay listing...what does "EC" mean

[jjflash]

I just ran across this listing on e-Bay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300318561816&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:us

What (if anything?) does the "EC" stand for in the seller's listing title?

[jjflash]

Just heard from seller:

"EC" just means "Excellent Condition."

Lots of good and bad in that listing. Seller has it 3 years and drives it 1500 miles, thats like 4 or 5 tanks of gas. Not good for the car to run on stale gas all the time, and driving so little often means nothing gets repaired like the AC that needs a charge, or maybe $5k of pulling the car apart and replacing coils etc. Quoting NADA pricing, incorrectly listing HP as 310 (Euro) instead of 288 (US), and not knowing its an 86.5, all troublesome.

Low mileage, rarely driven cars are hard to PPI, looks very nice on the outside, but may have all sorts of issues show up in the first few thousand miles of real driving. Make sure whoever does the PPI really knows their stuff.

The 310 HP quote and the "EC" are what got me thinking it might be a Euro car. That it is NOT was clarified in another thread. Thanks for the input. I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with an S4 at this point.
