The way the ad is worded it sounds like they used a template or something. They probably meant to type in 3,000 or 30,000. Just a guess

The pictures appear to be the same ones used by a local classic car dealer (drove by and saw the car there last week):

Odd: One their website, they list the mileage as ~11k, the price is slightly higher, and the phone # doesn't match the # on the craigslist ad.

I wonder if someone grabbed the pix from their site and is scamming on craigslist.

I think so.

The ad now reads

Okay, so, it must be a scam. I can understand the rear hatch, but hatchback? I wonder whose car that really is?
