Considering it's worth at least twice that if the verbiage is correct, I'd agree that is unbelievable!...

Has a valid R VIN, though!? JH4DC23111S000148

Just a few things to take note of....

no windshield wipers
rear plastic in hatch missing fasteners
no header heatshield
carbon plug cover

why jdm seats
why are the sides ITR stickers missing, but the rear is still there?

Just things I can see in the sellers pics he/she posted....

I would ask lots of questions to the seller, ask to have pics of all vin stickers on all the panels of the car....

If all checks out, it is a hell of a deal....

There is definitely something wrong with this caR... You dont find ITR's in this condition for $5,600.00. I sold my jdm front 130000 mile 98 integra gs for 5000 6 months ago... not buying this deal for a second! Let us know what this guy has to say... somethings wrong here.

He probably meant to price it at $15,600, which would be more consistent with an '01 w/ 48k.

The funny thing is that despite the unbelievable asking price of $5,600, I bet he has had several calls & emails of people saying something like: "I can bring you $4,000 CASH today" ...

I agree, $15,600 is probably what he meant to put.

Its BS, the number is a 949 area code, which is here in CA. But he claims to be in the Milwakee. Also car fax states that the car is a Maryland car.

this is a scam. he won't call you back. he's collecting emails. i bet anyone who emails this guy gets a message soon that says he tried to sell the car on ebay, but [reason it didn't sell]. now ebay still has the car, and if you just fill out the fake ebay documents and wire him the 5,600$ via moneygram, the car will be shipped to your door step.

it's too good to be true because it is. the low price gets him a nice list of emails to phish with the scam. this is the most popular vehicle scam occurring on autotrader and craigslist right now.

I personally know the owner of this car

It was sold for $16,000 a few weeks ago. That clown stole those pictures and yes that listing is FAKE. PaulMc, you can breath now, your car is worth more than $5,000
