This looks like one to be wary of. Look at the interior shot in the rear - It looks like the carpet is moldy (or SOMETHING). Seller's short description (along with the similar "Dash has a few cracks" story) would make me not buy this car.
The seller's handle tells the story.

kingkos, sell it for the best offer you get after a week of listing it and put this episode behind you. It's tempting to put effort into it to squeeze a profit but you don't want to learn more about it to further sour your memory... and that you'll have to disclose. Just say you bought it sight unseen and discovered you don't want it. Be advised that the quality of prospective buyer you're gonna get from a <$1500 listing will likely lead to another unpleasant episode.
