This car (VIN 1G4GJ1175HP440761) is highly misrepresented as a rare maroon WE4 with 35k miles.

All WE4's were black with gray interior.

Interior pictures indicate wear well in excess of 35k miles.

Indiana DMV indicates registration changes at:

03/11/1988 12,000 Indiana
10/14/1988 25,000 Indiana
09/09/1992 49,761 Indiana
04/06/1996 98,521 Indiana
05/19/1997 Indiana
06/17/1997 116,730 Indiana
08/25/1998 28,769 Indiana

So it's highly likely this car has 235k miles. Last DMV record in 1998 would likely indicate 128,769 miles. In the 11 years since, what are the chances this car has had only 6818 miles or 106818 additional miles? Using the previous 10 years as an indicator, it's highly likely this car has 235k miles but is being represented as 35k mile car.

Sent seller requests for pictures of the RPO sticker on the truck lid and pictures of the undercarriage no response.

Buyers do you homework on this one.
