status: rejected
Verdict: Too cheap: likely scam
- Asking $350 vs $14,819 adjusted market value from 19 comps (medium confidence).
- 98% under market is further below every comp than real sellers go. Treat as bait until you see the car and title in person.
- Mileage 1,000 is 97% below the comps' median 31,676, which supports a higher price.
- Private seller: more room to negotiate, no dealer fees.
- Title status not stated; confirm it is clean before trusting the value.
Risks
medium Title status not stated: verify before paying anything
medium Accident history unverified: no report attached
medium No VIN: cannot decode or run a history report
high Asking price far below comparables: common scam pattern, verify in person
