If those are Washington state plates, this car in all likelihood was sold in Washington in January 2007 for $5,000 via a Craigslist ad. It then appeared two days later in the Portland Craigslist for $8,500. I just missed getting to this one...oh, well. Looks like a few different folks are going to collect $2-3K "finders fees" before this car finds a home.

I have no absolute proof but the photos look identical.
