Thanks for all the replies everybody!

So I went to check it out, I found the following:

-100+ tiny stone chips in hood.
-Small piece of grill bent.
-Little dents here and there.
-Glow plug light went off, then came back on while engine was running.

-A/C worked, but could have been colder (IMO).
-Rear pass. side window does not work.
-Drivers seat back unscrewed and on the floor.
-Pass headlight cleaner broken.
-Drivers side of skirt appears to be spray painted (over scratches).
-Rust around trunk key.
-Trunk lid re-painted (drip marks under license plate).
-All alum. under hood looks quite weathered (oxidized).
-Wheels extremely gouged and rim actually dented in a few spots (worse than I have ever seen, even a couple of the wheel faces were rashed).
-Plastic (simulated wood) piece closest to armrest cracked.
-Nicks here and there on the armrests.
-No manuals in glove box.
-Entry molding missing from rear pass. side door jamb.


Front spring perches did look good to me, original sealant appeared to be in place, paint was peeling off springs and rusting.

And it did have a Mobil-1 synthetic sticker under the hood.

The nice salesman agreed with me that the car has defects, and said his boss who was not there "because he is in a little trouble" today will call me tomorrow.
