What bothers me are the following things:
1) Carfax says 1 owner. How is this possible based upon what the report itself shows?
2) The car was CPO'd then sat unsold for an entire year, then sold, got like 1,800 miles put on it in 2 weeks, and turns up for sale in FL? (again, somehow Carfax says 1-owner at the top, which makes no sense)
3) If you look to the left, you'll see that the carfax report is provided by Champion Motors of Pompano. They are not the seller. The seller is a small outfit that sells used Porsches, BMWs, Ferraris, etc. I called the selling dealer today and asked if he could clarify how he got it, and he didn't know off the top of his head. This is ok, as he is a salesman and it was his cell phone. I asked him to get it figured out if he could before I get there tomorrow to have a look. He said he thought it might have come from Champion, which would make sense based on the carfax. But I just don't get how the car got from Chicago to FL plus 1,800 miles in 2 weeks and turned in to a different dealer without Carfax saying it has been more than 1 owner.
4) Supposedly the dealer in Chicago (Perillo) is shady as hell and has their own in house body-shop and will represent accident cars as like-new. No matter what, if I got serious I'd have a PPI done by someone with a paint meter and try to be sure about the car's history. I mean,if they respray the lower chin up front that's one thing, as they all get gouged down where you can't really see from being so low, but if it has respray on any panels I'm walking. I might walk anyhow, it just bugs me that the history is so odd.
Do you think if I called or stopped in at Champion they'd be willing to tell me how they got the car even though it's not there anymore? They'd have no incentive to do so, except just being kind humans (which I don't generally associate with car dealers)
