legit to even consider buying this car?
http://newyork.craigslist.org/brx/cto/1376073011.html
I got the vin number from that guy and checked out carfax. It red flags saying its a "branded title: not actual mileage"!
So I called the guy and asked him to explain. He said he got the car at a public auction called "Manheim Skyline Auction" in Fairfield NJ. I checked out the their website and it SEEMS to be a legit place to buy cars (never knew about this of course).
Then he explains that the car was a repossessed vehicle so when they sold him the car, they had to make a new key or something? Strange to me that when (whomever) repossessed the vehicle couldn't file the mileage at that time to the DMV? I don't know. The price is good for the car, but I need your experts opinions please.
Thanks in advance!
oh btw, i'm new to this forum, hondas, cars, etc. lol . hello all.

Look around..you should be able to find a better deal than this car with its title issue. I wouldn't spend that much money on a car that doesn't have a clean title...but that's just me.

It says it has 9,xxx miles on it.
The picture taken of it is clearly not in the Bronx. Perhaps the auction house/warehouse is.

Re: legit to even consider buying this car?
is there anything wrong with the car? just because it was repo'd doesn't mean much. if everything checks out then it seems like a good price .
