It doesn't surprise me. I did finally talk to the owner shortly after I posted the message last year. He was advertising the aircraft as being certified in 2010. After speaking with him, it was actually built in the 80's and he had just reassembled it. He only had a top-overhaul completed on the engine and didn't do any new fabric work or anything else; just bolted it all together and called it brand new! Didn't seem very honest, so I walked away pretty quickly.
