  • 2005 Bronze for sale on eBay --- What's wrong here?

    There is a 2005 Bronze for sale with the tan package. Serial # is 1FAHP60A55Y104301 and location is Houston. However, it appears to me that something is wrong with this picture of the dashboard. The colors are all wrong. What you you think?

    Unbelivable TBN trips including ALL of the lower 48 States plus 9 Canadian Provinces, 8 European Countries, 3 Caribbean Countries, Countless National Parks and have attended well over 100 TBN Events since 2001 and counting. Best of all ... fabulous friends.

    Whoa! Made me rush out and take a good look at Goldilocks. That Bird looks like it was pieced together - and very poorly! Hope any potential buyer checks the VIN out up one side and down the other before buying.

      Looks like a lot of parts out of an '02 placed in an '05.

        IMHO, appears to have been rebuilt, possibly after the airbags deployed.

          007 #264 had the glove box discoloration problem though this one looks like the whole top of the dash was replaced with a 2002 dash assembly: #264's glove box was slowly turning off-white and did not match the rest of the dash and door assembly. It just was another reason to dispose of that miserable mistake.

          I agree this one has had serious repairs in the dash or a collision where the airbags deployed.

          David, Carfax is clean. Originally a TX car which was leased and retitled and spent the majority of its' life in FL but was sold at auction.

          Guess this is an excellent example of why Carfax is not 100% accurate and you should have a any used car checked out by a mechanic you trust.

            I think it's the flash causing that. I just looked at an old picture I have from ebay taken in January 05 (so would have been a new car at the time)and the flash shows those same kinds of discoloration between the glove box and the rest of the dash.
            It also looks like someone has shined up the dash on the car in post 1, causing even more reflection.
            Pulled up another photo also taken in January 05 of a different car and again, the same discoloration showing up - it has to be the flash doing that.
            btw - the dash style/glovebox style is correct for the 05, it's not the 02 style.

              Take a look where the aluminum trim at the ignition appears to be pulled away from the dash ...

                to make it more interesting there is one on ebay with almost the exact same picture:
                but the vin # is 1FAHP60A75Y103019

                appears to be the same seller as the one that DavidA posted.

                someone might ask the seller for a clearer picture of the ignition area as they both look alike.
