Not rain on your parade,but your the third owner of this car since it was cloned and you don't have the P/O'er who did the work to talk to.Might be something easy,but the variables are kind of endless.The price seems kind of high too.If you could buy in cheaper,that would give you more room to work with.I have a gut feeling the guy trying to sell it paid too much and is trying to get back the mistake he made.
