Agreed that the exterior condition doesn't seem to match the stated mileage, but hard to say. If it seems like a possible purchase I'll have to run a carfax on it. Cosmetically, I am not too concerned, this would just become a daily driver (to and from work - about 2 miles one way) for me. I enjoy turning some wrenchs now and again, but I also don't want to get sunk on big ticket items.
