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.
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
