Isn't it weird how incredibly identical these two cars are? From the stripe, to the spoiler, rims, bumpers, single blue license plate on rear, and even the black side mirrors on both sides. Are these possibly fake adds? hmmm. Just thought it was interesting.

I'm guessin its the same, not too many people would drill a spoiler on the decklid crooked confused24.gif

looks like the LA one has been hit in the back! Look at the photo of the passenger rear fender on both cars. They do not look the same!

The ad says "two owners" smile.gif

I suspect the OC listing is legit, as the guy's phone number is listed in the white pages. The LA add could be someone pulling a scam, as that phone # is being used for a few other auto-related ads.

i think some one bought it and is flipping it. the ealy add doesn't have alot of picture and the later add is very well represented. make a cool 1700 profit.

p.s. the mirrors look the same

I agree, look at the plates, they both look like they say 'sport chalet' and the number looks the same...

Both of those cars were on Ebay not to long ago. I don't know that I would buy from the guy, but here is the ad.

Sold for 3500$

Shouldn't the side stripe be at the bottom of the door? It looks way too high and it's the same in both sets of pics indicating the same car.

Now the first Craigslist add has been deleted. Might be a flip, but, seems pretty fishy to have been sold on ebay and add placed 28 May on Samba... maybe it needs a test drive.
