status: rejected
Verdict: Too cheap: likely scam
- Asking $4,258 vs $12,467 adjusted market value from 16 comps (high confidence).
- 66% under market is further below every comp than real sellers go. Treat as bait until you see the car and title in person.
- Mileage 42,000 is 16% above the comps' median 36,059, which justifies a lower 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
