Default Any Michigan People Know this S2000?

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/ctd/2975717197.html

Hey S2000 owners, I am in the processing of purchasing my first S2000 and came upon this one. And I know it came out of Michigan.
So I was wondering if anyone knew the history, or who owned the vehicle. I won't say how it ended up in the west coast hands, but if anyone had any input before I seal the deal. Thanks everyone.

Hmm, a Laguna with CR lip and spoiler and a turbo (I think Greddy?)

I don't recognize it, unfortunately, although it looks pretty clean.

Out of curiousity, do you know the name of the original Honda dealership in MI that sold the car?

I did test drive a '06 LBP at Suburban Honda, Farmington Hills, MI around the time I bought my car. February or March '06.

I might be able to pull up the carfax. This car was a repo from an owner from someone in Michigan is all the information. I haven't had a chance to look at the car in person. I'm concerned because of the short miles and the kind of turbo... Looks like an ebay kit to me.

Check this out:

http://www.salvage-cars-for-sale.inf...06-MTIxNjA1NDI

Same VIN, tons of other listings that are the same. I would avoid this car based on that damage. It would not be a "clean title" in MI and not worth that kind of money in this state. I'm very surprised that the California seller can claim it to be a "clean title" there. It's clearly salvage.

I can't believe nobody on here googled the VIN yet. Google is your friend.
