Default Anyone want a 2012 Boss for $23k?

Apparently it has 1,500 miles and the private seller wants $23,500 for this thing, selling out of Orlando, FL. Can't tell if scam, idiot, or a man that's too rich for his own good getting rid of this thing for so cheap... Or maybe it's an imposter?

Ehh if it looks too good to be true, it is. The fact that I could sell my 2011 GT and *make money* by buying a 2012 Boss 302, says that something has to be wrong here.

Maybe a fire sale?

Or a rebuilt title?

Gotta be a scam, it's not even listed as a Boss, just Ford Mustang. All the comments say standard this, standard that...complete scam.

I overuse this phrase all of the time haha. I know what you're talking about.

I didn't see that it was a rebuild title, but was hoping someone else would've been able to spot it. I'm thinking it's either A) a scam or B) the guy needs to pay off a loan shark, FAST

Yea, but is that even a realistic price for a 2012 GT with M/T? Only 1,500 miles? Doesn't seem realistic even if it was a base 2012 GT...

Where does it say GT? It is just a scam ad with pictures of a Laguna Seca. V6, yea, that's realistic to me.

The difference is that I'm only curious haha. I know it's too good to be true, just wondering what you all thought of it and if you could spot the nonconsistency.

But I think Baker got it haha. Lack of information especially in the overview.
