Idiots.
That was a e-bay listing. Look at the specs on the first one. That is one dope auto. "Reserve not met" mind you...

Yeah... it's pretty common to see these go for $12-14,000. See that one for like 70k or whatever it was... holy crap... that must be 3000 miles EVER. Like someone just parked it in a garage or something when they bought it.

Crazy that we were JUST talking about these things...
