Default 2002 XJR with 18,000 miles for $16,300?

This came up in an AutoTrader email today: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...cd3f0dccd81735
In Orlando. I don't see side molding and or window chrome. Is this a XJR 100? Wondering if 18,000 miles is a typo.

The lack of interior or engine photos is concerning.

You can make out the subscript "100" on the trunk badge, but that price is pretty low for a 100 with those miles.

So low it makes you really want to look a little deeper.

The photos in the autotrader ad are right out of the BAT auction for an 18k mile 02 XJR100 that sold for $67000 13 months ago. So I'm going to call this a scam, or at the very least bait & switch with these nice photos and the XJR they actually have is a bit more...tired.

Tempting to call the number and find out, but I just don't have the energy to mess with them.

I ran a reverse image search and found that BAT sale and was about to post that. It’s a scam unless it’s the old joke where guy leaves his wife and says sell my car and send me the money.

SAJDA15B42M211830 is the VIN listed for the car. The VIN for BaT (with same pics) is SAJDA15B42MF48999. VINcheck.info says both are 2002 XJRs. I was going to offer the magic beans I got for selling the family cow but the listing ended.
