Most new cars look a better after a good detailing, some a lot better. "Dealer prep" usually just scratches & swirls the paint. A friend of mine details high end cars and he routinely details new cars. So it being at a detailer is not surprising at all.

Oh I get it on detailing but I don't get why no ins?? Just seems a little fishy that he would be just be parting it out?? Plus on Craigslist?? Maybe but just seems strange.

Just curious why the hell you would take a car with only 1200 miles to some detail shop, I bet it was one hell of a burn out, Hope everything works out for the owner of the car

Well it is a wrecked C7 and the odds are a detailer did it.

lol

If this thread ends up on Snopes, it could provide the free publicity I've been lookin' for...
