Default need help! is this mkIII shady?

88 supra, targa, non-turbo, $2500.
The title is listed on autotrader as 'cosignment'.
He says there is nothing wrong with the car.
The dates on the 3 pictures show 2005, but he says in the description the dates are wrong.
I can count 15 other cars in the pictures. The name on the building matches the name advertised.
The dates say feb 3 and 4 of 05 but there is no snow, its gloomy, but no snow. The location is Verona, PA and i heard that its a bad neighborhood, and when is there not snow in PA in early feb?
When i called, he said that it was a 'mechanic's car,' i know what a mechanics special is, but i believe he meant that it was owned by a mechanic.

I did a carfax and its a little wierd.
-in 99 it got an EML title at a reported 146K miles.
-in 02 the title was updated and a new owner was reported 500 miles later.
-in 03 the title was updated and new owner reported, exempt from miles.
-in 05 the same thing was recorded,
-in 07 the same was recorded 366 days later.

the car can be found here
