Possible scam? License plate in rear window is Mississippi “Blue Guitar” (BB King’s ‘Lucille’) issued in MS from 2012-2018.
These were re-issued in 2019, and any vehicle wearing one from 2020 and beyond is subject to ticket.

CMV 217 comes back empty on a license plate search for Mississippi tags.
Reverse image search thinks this is a Passat or Accord, and doesn’t find anything except for this site and Chinese facebook.
TL;DR get a VIN from the seller & do due diligence prior to any transaction.
Correction: CMY 217, not CMV. But I did also try CMV. And New York in the event this is a NY specialty plate with which I am unfamiliar.
