Don't know the car but looking at the gear stick gaiter i would say that has not done 47000 miles but go have a look and check for other signs.

hard to tell as its got the plates covered up, i have seen the garages cars about before, it could be a raving bargain,these cars do sometimes come in at main dealers and get shuffled off to prefered dealers or traders.
that bit about no of owners being over 5???

Looks weird to me...
Model year 1995, LT stpped in 1994 and it has a ptrol flap, so id bet it was a late registered LT model that has had a rear quater and could only get hold of a ST rear quater.
The airbag doesnt look like its on properly either, but could just be me.
