....... or does this look like it could have had a front end knock :nenau

The front just doesn't look to line up right

He needs to sort his ride height out!

And the rear lower lights look different.

But I like the center console / radio very much. Wonder where he got that from?

Rear lights are correct, ride height is correct...

...but front panel alignment is all over the place on o/s!

Definitely had a bump on o/s.

Isn't the left one square and the right one round? Or are my eyes completely shot? Shows more clearly on the indicator plastic.

N/s rear light cluster is off an earlier model, stereo is standard, not sure about ride height but yeh the n/s front has a proper droop on it, I wonder if the front body mount has completely rotted away allowing it all to drop a bit :nenau

That's all standard except the rear near side cluster. Exactly the same as mine. Looks like it's had a rough life and they've very poorly touched it up with a spraygun:doh

Not a good time to put a bid on though...:doh

Attention to detail essential when selling a car, shut lines around the headlights, and front and rear bumper to the body are clearly, misaligned, the fact that overspray on the tryes could have been avoided and increases the suspicion of a poor paint job, no prep no degreasing... probably no lacquer coat either.

These are the things you can see on a simple picture, what else has been bodged, not worth the fuel money to look at that one...

A good find to show what to look for when buying a car, thanks for bringing this to our attention. :thumb2
Certainly one to avoid.

Misaligned bumpers are quite common on terrys, I don't think the brackets are strong enough and allow things to move and bend. But overspray on wheels is a big warning, not so much because the vehicle has had paint ($h1t happens) but because it tells you about the people involved in the vehicle. If a painter/bodyshop can't even be bothered to throw a binliner over the wheels then I reckon it's likely he hadn't prepped the car properly before painting and it will probably be peeling off soon. If the guy selling the car couldn't be bothered to get a rag and some thinners on them what else does he think is acceptable?, eml and abs bulbs missing etc etc. It's a real shame to see great motors like these let down by people and I must admit it saddens me :(
