Want to know the history? read the Carfax. It says it was repossessed and sold at auction. I would guess they stripped the parts off of it and sold them before it got repossessed.

Or was. I think the poster above that confirmed it was repossessed is correct. Some dude was running late on payments and knew he was going to lose his car (and whatever equity he had in the car), so he traded parts out to make some cash before the repo man showed up.

Car was crashed, no vin tag on the the trunk lid, pictures grainy but looks like the tag was painted over, so it's a respray likely of a trunk taken off another car that crashed into something with their front end. (How do I know? Because I've now owned two such trunks, thanks crappy body shops!)
Pull out the spare and foam holding the tools to see how far the metal reworking goes. Might've been backed into a wall light enough to just cause enough damage, however there's no pictures from a high angle showing the rear glass and roof, 'lets tint the rear so they don't notice it's not factory glass' me thinks it got hit hard enough to shatter that, which in my car that would have totaled it out. If you want a cheap yella furs and you have a keen eye for body damage it might be worth the gamble, if you want a hassle free car in good condition this is a hard pass. Edit with pics for those lazy if autotrader cooperates: ol' yeller tag should be to the right of the cord that goes to the license plate light and trunk release: |

i think what is still baffling about this one is that there is no push button start/dual zone climate control. Didn't all the RS1.0 have that?

On the other hand, I'm not sure this is what happened, simply because the side portions of the rear spoiler were still on the rear quarters when it was repossessed and made its way to the dealer in Florida. If you were selling parts from it, you wouldn't sell the incomplete center section by itself. Apparently whoever stripped it went to the trouble of swapping out the push button start for a keyed ignition. Someone going to that level of trouble to get everything off the car wouldn't forget those side pieces. Maybe instead an irresponsible dipshit wrecked it, didn't have insurance on it and stopped making payments, so the lender repossessed the wreck and auctioned it off to someone or some company that put it back on the road with the cheapest parts available. |

If it was repossessed and auctioned off after being wrecked, whoever rehabbed it might have had another wreck sitting around from which they scavenged ignition parts rather than having new fobs programmed. Plenty of wrecked 86s end up in the auctions in Florida.

Why would you not put the fricken' tools away and clean the trunk if you post for-sale pics?

Just in case anyone is unaware, you can click the Carfax on this listing and see the full history of the car.
