Went and took a look at this, considering it pretty heavily...unfortunately its a 10ft looker, a little rough around the edges :-/

Update on this car for any prospective buyers...its got some hidden issues that I need someone to chime in on. Took a more extensive (1+hr) look at this car, and noticed a few things lurking.

"Issues":
Cheap aftermarket exhaust
cheap replacement front roundel
mismatched tires (one of the tires in the rear is 235 and a different brand)
dried up weather stripping
VANOs noise
chipped tail light
plasti-dipped keyholes and emblems
water in corner lights
headlight lenses need replacement
poorly painted front grille
Steering wheel needs replacement
Headliner sagging (lightly)
In engine bay: Valve cover liquid gasket overrun (see pics); Cracked Strut mount (see pics); frame/body cracking/splitting...this is what someone needs to interpret for me via my pics

PICS:

I really don't know what I'm seeing particularly in the fourth and fifth pictures....

Work the dealer has done:
Control Arm Bushings
Oil Pan Gasket
Axle boots
Repainted hood and front bumper

Thanks guys

The original link isn't working. From your description and pics run away from this thing unless you have the time, skills and money to fix it.

I would pass on it.

Yeah, I guess I'm gonna leave this one behind, but I wanted to make sure that anyone who saw this car and wanted info had my findings, however amateur.

Onward to the next!:fingerscrossed
