Seemed completely legit
My mate picked up a R34 GTR for 20k, sold buy a disgruntled ex wife, all legit.

The car was in her name, he was on a cruise with his new girlfriend.

Sometimes you can get lucky.

Both if your lucky.

He seen it advertised online, lots of talk about it ensued, he asked if I could go have a look with him, after looking at it and calling all the relevant authorities, he jumped on the car.

Everyone was saying how it must be dodgy, it wasn't.

She also had a jet ski, lots of fishing gear and other assorted bits and peices that she just wanted gone.

We kept expecting the ex hubby to contact him, he didn't, he tracked the hell out of it and sold it for 70k IIRC a couple of years later.

My only issue was not deciding to try and out bid him, stupid loyalty to my mate stopped me, stupid loyalty.

I say check things out before judging, there's alot of disgruntled people out there that do things out of spite, it may equate to profit if your at he right place at the right time.

Or they may just get tired of things and go different path. I picked up my 2005 CBR600RR in 2007 for less than 1/2-price. Guy just lost interest.

Too good to be true? So I had shop so PPI with compression test, oil-analysis, etc. it all checked out fine, so I bought it. He even delivered from Inland Empire all the way out to Santa Barbara! For case of beer...
