Prospective buyers, stay away from this car!

So I got a couple PMs asking me about what cars I saw that were questionable.

This car has had its odometer rolled back and told by a friend who ran the vin for me through the dealer computers that more than likely this was in a horrible accident and repairs were done out of pocket.

The paint work is clean and matching, so assume the whole car was painted at the same time

Just that name alone would be a red flag.

If repairs were properly done and price is right, could be a good car.

I have a local dealer named L.A. Sales. I thought it stood for, well, you know, Los Angeles.

Incredibly, the print below that, on the sign, said Lemon Auto Sales. Uneffing believable.
