Unfortunately, most of us don't take this advice and roll the dice based upon description, photos, and feedback.

Sometimes we get burned a bit.

BTW, you could post a link here and many of us will give you an opinion on it, to the best of our ability using the e-bay description.

It's no PPI but, it's better than going at it alone.

and I have the same color interios without the pink shift aging that that one shoes in the pictures. That car spent its life in the sun and weather.

I found it:

Now we can take a closer look.
Mine has none of that rust............and I paid $2,800 for mine In Burke VA.

I worry about why its had so many panels resprayed.......in so few miles....I bet its actually about 278K miles. MD has no annual inspection so few paper trails to track actual miles if owner had it for a large number of years
