Too good to be true?

I am not selling this but came across it today:

Too much $$$ for a TMU, non-running D2. TMU = 40% hit to the book value...probably best to assume it needs a motor too, so it's a parts truck with a salvage title.

Should be worth $500 up maybe $1000 if it's really, really nice. (To put this in perspective, I just paid $800 for one that runs, is probably a lot nicer, and it just needs a head gasket...)

When I saw the mileage I thought it was something simple like a bad CPS, but it seems to be more than that.

It could be that simple, but with a title branded TMU, and Salvage to boot this vehicle is worth more $$$ as parts...

looks like it just got back from Afghanistan! holy hell...
