Some interesting things with this one. It was offered for sale with 29,000 miles at one point:

It was sold in April for $52,600.

Must be a pretty bad accident to have the car sell at $52.6k.

If you look at the pix posted for the 29K mile listing the instrument cluster shows 2952.4 on the trip odometer and 15387 on the odometer.

Whoever read the mileage for the listing read the top number and didn't see the decimal point for tenths.

The only thing that I noticed were the pix stamped with a 3/3/2008 date but more then likely if they can't read an odometer they would have trouble setting a date on a digital camera
