Potential buyer

Saw this car on eBay, looking for some advice as to what I should be looking for in terms of problems/red flags besides the fact that the seller/dealer calls it a "2.0 turbo" rather than a supercharger. Hoping that someone can look at the pictures and spot anything wrong. I live over seven hours away from where the car is and can't test drive it but "no reserve" on an '06 SS Supercharged with 68K miles is worth the drive. Obviously I wouldn't pay for it until I drove the car and was satisfied, but don't want to make a wasted trip if anything can be pointed out now. Here's the link:

Does that mean there doesn't seem to be anything wrong from what you can see or do you just want that stuff ? I kind of like the front of the car so if I did buy I would have to think about selling the lip, and I don't really like the wingless look so I would consider selling, maybe trade. Just looking for info as to whether this is a good buy or a beware of that SS/SC right now though.

I'll sell you my 07 G5 GT yellow fully loaded auto if you want.

The only thing I see is that the last odometer check was 21,000 miles ago.

Yeah, 21k miles in less than two years is a lot of driving. Thanks for the offer burnt but I really want a 5-speed.

I was thinking that is more or less the last time it was in and serviced... but I don't know if that is true.
