      Hypothetical: You are scrolling the local classifieds and you come across an ad for a old honda. "My dad passed away 17 yrs ago and left this. I don't know anything about it, but it does start. Really dirty from sitting, tires are flat. $1700.
      Then you see this:

            @vondon302 I'm thinking scam as well, but I gotta try. I will never forgive myself if I don't, because what if its real?

                  If its legit thats incredible. Someone do a reverse image search on google with that pic and see if anything comes up. So we know if someone took a random pic or not.

                      I noticed the distinct lack of a link to the ad which is understandable. If that's legit, DO IT! Please keep us updated as if this is real, it's the steal of the century.

                                    Since everyone already knows I’m clueless: is that an NSX-R? I don’t know my crazy expensive Hondas. And just how crazy expensive would it be legitimately?

                                        @maximaspeed @ST80MND GIS brings up a post that contains the same picture from some weird (botted) site in Georgian? The post dates to February 2019, so more than likely it's a trap. Or maybe the seller unsuccessfully put the car up for sale before last year, and the shady site used the photo from that. Or maybe the dates wrong? Maybe that's being way too hopeful, but I really want this to be legit.

                                            @just-jeepin NSX-R's were only sold in Japan, so unlikely that this is an R if the ad is true about the dad being dead for 17 years

                                              While I hope it's legit - I have my doubts:
                                              03414dac-22fa-4518-95ce-e40d57c12d92-image.png
                                              If it's been there for 17 years, it would show on Google Earth. However, there are lots of abandoned looking cars in the area....so its possible. However, there doesn't appear to be a "176 Castleridge Dr"

                                              My guess is though if someone gets back to you, it will be to say "Lots of people are interested, you need to wire/PayPal/deposit in my account the money and I'll hold it for you" or something. That's how you'll know it's a scam.

                                              Otherwise, if there is anyone local, time for a drive-by.

                                              Past cars: 1990 Eagle Talon TSi, 1990 Plymouth Laser RS Turbo, 1982 Pontiac J2000 (my first) and many others I don't want to talk about.......

                                                It's also possible that the car isn't at the seller's location. If it was "Dad's car" that was parked for 17 years, the guy selling it is very possibly not living in the same house anymore.

                                                Not saying it's definitely legit, but that's a pretty minor red flag.
