The items with the brakes, spark plug, flex disc and suspension seem to me to be what happens at the useful end of these components when they have provided their projected lifespan. If there are incidences of these conditions happening at low mileage then that is a problem. Though I doubt the brakes have an issue.

I thought the crankshaft balance issue was from the older V-6 engines in 210's and 202's.

The issue with liquid spill, that's an industry common problem, anyone remember the memorable quote form the japanese toyota executive who contributed that issue to sloppy americans and their excessive eating/drinking habits.

No matter that is an interesting list, and good research

Also, when cars are put up for sale there are many tricks for hiding imperfections in the paint, fillers and color enhanced waxes can hide swirl marks and holograms in the paint, so bright sunlight and halogen lamps are the conditions for inspecting paint. Additionally 70% water mixed with 30% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle is a good wiping solution for cleaning paint to rid of the fillers and evaluating paint condition
