Seeing that swapped trunk lid, my guess is that it has been wrecked.

Per the link I posted above it appears to have found its way to Velocity Motorsports from Florida Fine Cars in Hollywood, FL. Florida is a no-fault state for injury coverage, but not for property damage. As a result of our idiotic regulations, insurance rates down here are insane. For example, when I recently bought my fourth car, my insurance company quoted me $4000 per year to insure all four vehicles, for a 48 year old with no recent accidents or tickets, very good credit and no other drivers on the policy. I can't imagine what they would quote me if I were 22 years old and had a FICO score below 800.

A lot of people here are so shocked and panicked by their insurance quotes that they either drop everything except the state minimums, or they just get insured long enough to get registered and let the coverage lapse, or they switch their insurance to one of these scam insurance companies that charge really low rates just to provide proof of coverage but fight tooth and nail against any claims. If the owner wrecked it, he may have had no insurance with which to file a claim, so he may have fixed it out of his own pocket or sold it to someone who repaired it. That would make sense with the pic of that obviously swapped trunk lid with the side pieces of the spoiler still on the rear quarters. And it would still result in a clean Carfax.

So I'd stay away from it even if the price weren't way too high for what now amounts to a 2015 base model FR-S with yellow paint.
