If you were so horrified by the exterior of the car, why even bother with "exhaustive analysis?"

Sounds like the car was a pile, PASS, move on to the next one. There are plenty of used cars out there that wouldn't pass my personal tests, when I figure that out, I move on.

I do not see why you are quite so upset over this. If I bought every car I looked at, I'd have hundreds of cars right now. By looking at a lot of cars, I periodically stumble across a gem, I see that as the nature of the beast.
