Possibly too much to maintain now. Says original owner, but I doubt it. Why would you sell so low if you were an original owner? :dunno

[spazzboy]

Probably requires extensive maintenance to nurse back to health judging from the price.

Its a fake ad, not real! Lots of them on Kijiji lol.

Yeah, check out what appears to be palm trees in the background--don't expect there are too many of those in Hamilton. :)

[spazzboy]

totally missed the palm trees.
LOL

For the suspicious ads, I usually try to see if the surrounding scenery looks local or not, and/or check to see if the license plate looks right (if you can see it).

I guess the owner could have taken that picture while on vacation in California or something, but chances are pretty good that's not the case... If you really want to sell something, why not take a recent picture?

[Inspector Clave]

Ad has been taken off Kijiji.

Tameral - Nice pics in your signature.

[spazzboy]

Is it a pic taken in front of Harper's fake lake from the G20 Summit last year?
:shifty

[Tameral]

Thanks, Inspector Clave.

It's actually Barrier Lake in Kananaskis Country here in Alberta. I don't expect the Fake Lake had that nice aqua blue water...

Of course not. :) I was only kidding. It is a spectacular view though.

Yeah, it is pretty nice. I've remarked a few times that some of the views in the Rockies are so great you'd almost think they were Photoshopped (especially the colour of the mountain lakes).

Mosquitos were terrible the day I took those pics, though! Had to snap them fast and then escape back into the car before they carried us away. :D

i was on to this last night!! looked and sounded too good to be true. Thought id check it out anyway since it had nav and 165k as well as sport!! well i guess it was too good to be true.

mailed the seller yesterday but still no response - today the ad is down and still no mail response! ... too bad, I had thought id pick it up for the right price given fair condition and then see what i could do with it ) ...

thought the gas prices/maintenance had gone to the owners head!!

[Sarvinder]

Inspector Clave, post some pic's of your bad boy. And are you going to be at the get together this coming Sunday????
