Really ?! Twisted frame huh ? Mate of mine has seen this car and was sort of interested. I also noticed by searching the sellers feedback, he not so long ago bought a washer bottle & motor.http://www.essexamericanimports.com/

The left front wheel looks a little out of skew in those pictures.

I've got what is supposed to be the VIN for this car - can I be cheeky and ask if there's someone out there who can carfax it ?

probably for the good Hi, well after a bit of fishing 
- I can confirm you missed it for the good (and so did my friend interested in the car). After my mate had called Chris - who it seems runs a certain Essex based American car import co. - told my mate to the best of his knowledge the car was straight and accident free. He didn't have a carfax - despite it saying on his website that all cars come with a clean carfax.
Anyhow - I got the carfax for it - it was a total loss vehicle on 2/1/2007. Last recorded mileage was almost 19,000 - and not the sellers reported 14,000.
So there's one to watch out for.

Rather low price, be interesting to see if the new owner appears on this forum or if the car appears somewhere else?
Just looked at the dealers website, still on there with a price of £35k
Ha, Andy's post makes things much clearer now.......

I might be wrong, but under the terms of ebay if the item is offered with no reserve and sells, the seller must sell it at the highest bidding price... I guess there is the potential for the highest bidder to turn out to be a p*ss artist, or they might have accidentally bid on it, in which case the seller might get out of it... But by the sound of things if the seller gets that price, for a car with what appears to be an extremely checkered history, then he's probably going to do quite well out of it and be happy to wipe his hands of it... 
That photo is classic!

Well.........For me I only needed to see that drivers side front wheel to tell me it was a wrongun.
Serious amouts of neg camber.
I thought the same myself, I just couldn't decide if it was because it was parked on a slope...Serious amouts of neg camber.
If the frame is twisted I guess that could be what's causing it.
IM NOT BUYING THAT ONE 
Now is it just me but, I seriously think the motor vechicle laws on buying and selling a used imported car need a radical overhaull. Do Revenue and Customs in this case need to be informed that a written off car (in the USA) is now up for sale? what would an HPI check on this car tell you? if its anything like the HPI check done on the car I almost lost my money on, the chances are it will tell you sod all! What do you think?

What do you think? Don't know if it helps guys but I'm the previous owner of this beast, it's in immaculate condition, you will love it, i sold it to Chris for 65k American dlls, it has about 7k invested on premium sound system, DVD , TV w/ TV tuner, very low miles and always garaged, never being in an accident so i don't know who is saying that it had a twisted frame, thats nothing but a lie, feel free to contact me at saleen1980@hotmail.com for any questions, i hope i can be of any help to you.
