why do you think its a scam? Because of the price? look at the title, it says it was rebuilt. Seems to me he bought a car that was badly wrecked and rebuilt it.

I see the problem,

Leather seat, cluster has moved to driver side and cup holder is gone.

I would think it is a mistake of choosing wrong picture but could be wrong.

Overpriced for a bare bones 07 Yaris with 92K miles a salvage title.

Plus, description and pics don't match the car.

Looks like the last pic doesn't belong. Maybe a minivan? Other than that, seems to be a decent price for Michigan, even if it's a rebuilt vehicle.

The second picture is a sedan interior, not a liftback.

Pictures are also of different cars altogether. One interior shows powered leather seats and a silver body. Ad says power windows, the picture that looks like a Yaris interior shows cloth seats and manual window cranks. But it's a sedan interior and was taken from here, and cropped as not to show the red body:

So, that's why I'm wondering, why post an ad for a car that clearly doesn't exist. It's not a mistake of posting the wrong pictures by accident if you find them online and crop them. Why select pictures of at least three different cars? What's the angle here?

If you do a search for the phone number from it add it shows up in loads of other adds for other cars, all of which are "salvage" title cars and all of which have the same text in the posting.
