Being a FL dealer/car looks like the only problem at first glance. No consumer protection in FL.
One would have to check it out top to bottom before thinking it's a good deal.
I looked at one a few years ago with the same claim and every corner had repair work done on it.
Personally I would never buy a GTS from someone where I didnt know the history of it.
For all you know this car was on the track every weekend with 2 bottles of NO2 going through it.
still..it might me a good deal and all of the above is just talk.
I am curious where everyone gets the idea that Florida is such a bad state for comsumer protection and vehicle titles??
Florida has some of the best Lemon Laws, and enforcement of re-buildable versus non-rebuildable salvage title regulations.
It is darn near impossible to "clean" a title in Florida. In fact.. once a vehicle has a non-rebuildable salvage title in Florida... it can never be titled for road use in Florida again.... in fact I have seen totalled non-rebuildable vehicles leave the state and three or four years later that same vehicle comes back rebuilt and the new owner cannot get it registered because it once had a Florida non-rebuildable title.
I had a problem with a transposed number on the title for a vehicle I wanted to bring in from Georgia..... took me almost 2 years to get it corrected... and I was the owner who took the car from Florida to Georgia (where the mistake happened) and brought it back to Florida.
No flame intended...... I just grow weary of folks advising others to be wary of cars from Florida because of lack of consumer protection and the alleged ability to "wash" a title clean in Florida....
