item says it is in San Francisco, CA. I doubt that, the background doesnt look like SF to me.

It looks like an evo in the pictures but the ad says, "Turbo No;
Drive 2WD".

Something seems a little fishy about that listing on that car. A lot of things in the description don't all add up

If you look for these cars as much as I do you'd recognize this picture is in japan. They are a handful of other JDm RHD cars such as rx7's and supra's in this same place. So it could be that the person has some links to bring it into the country.

I doubt it. Why would a SF listing be in a NY craigslist? In the specs it says the car is not turboed and its 2 wheel drive. I thought all evo's were 4 wheel drive and by the pictures I would say its turbo charged. I call BS on that.

Either he is bringing it over, or those are pictures from when he bought it. Either way, I would pass. Something smells fishy to me...

If you're interested, call the number and set an appointment so you can see the car in person.
