Wrong vin, missing a radiator, wrong exhaust, I think wrong rims, no silver trim on doors, wrong engine, wrong transmission, missing batwing next to gear shift, wrong steering wheel, wrong brake rotors, wrong brake calipers.

Sometimes these botch jobs are hard to spot due to changing the exhuast and being a tip and on one occasion I saw someone even changed the front bumper, but this one is an easy spot.

Seller is a scammer or deeply mistaken. Report the post and carry about your day, do not buy his car.

Maybe it's my eyes, but I don't see anywhere in the ad where it states it's an 'S' model. Other than in the picture where someone glued an 'S' on it.....

Tell him you are in Nigeria and can pay in Italian Lira.

Because most likely that is where the car is located.

The fifth digit in the VIN is the tell-tale sign. A=2.5 or 2.7, B=3.2. They did NOT put any smaller engines in an S.
