This is my first post here on Rovers North. I joined up to help do some research looking to buy a D90. Maybe someone here can give me advice on this one. I appreciate the help in advance and knowing this is my first post - Thanks!

I searched cars.com and came up with this listing:

here is the description:
Selling Points: This is a beautiful 1 owner Arles Blue Defender. AC works like a frigerator, engine and transmission is perfect and super clean, the vehicle has no rust, kept in a garage outside of Portland and used as a 2nd car for running around the mountainous area dirt roads. It is #340 of 500. Has a Clarion OEM 6 disc CD player, seat covers from Land Rover were put on at purchase so seats are virtually virgin. Sun roof pops out for great easy sun cruising. Recently had the cam chain replaced as normal preventative at 71,000. It is the cleanest most beautiful I've seen yet. I bought it from a dentist in Portland and had it shipped here to San Diego. It is my 3rd Defender of which I am a fanatic. It is an excellent running vehicle and no vehicle gives you more looks from everyone around you. Tires are excellent. Has a warn 8,000 winch which works excellent. Has i small ding in right front fender from a deer encounter.

It's a 1995 D90 going for $15,000. Sounds too good to be true. Well I emailed the owner to see if it was still available, asking for more pics and such. The D90 is located in San Diego. (I live in Long Island). He wrote back that it is still available. I got picts, and it looks pretty good for a D90 with 74K miles on it. Well, I ran a CARFAX and it appears there is a new owner registering in Fairfield CT in November 2007.

Well I emailed the guy asking whats the deal with the CT registration, but he hasn't emailed back yet (its only been an hour).

Do you think this is a scam?? Maybe someone here might know who bought a 1995 D90 back in November from out west (Oregon - from the carfax) who lives in CT. Someone might be using his/her VIN# and picts to scam out some unsuspecting person. I hope this is not the case.

Anyway, I hope this is legit offer, but now I am not sure.
The "owners" name is Gary Pitchford, maybe someone knows him since he claims to own 3 D90s. If so, please let me know so I can go forward and possibly purchase this steal of a deal

PS - My wife and I have owned a DII and now own a LR3 (her daily driver), and I am also a member of the Toyota Land Cruisers Association (I wheel a FJ Cruiser and go by AmityFJ on fjcruiserforums) I know there are a couple of you from that forum who participate here, so maybe I'm not much of a stranger here!)
