If it was me I would be taking that bumper cover off and looking for hack repairs of the systems in the front end of the vehicle.
Also I would be scanning the system with Xentry and make sure that there are no codes related to malfunctioning systems. In this model the events that are captured by the system are astounding. Burnt out light bulbs get recorded in the history.

Always a good idea to inspect any used car. As a side note, if buying from a salvage auction ( like Copart ) pretty much never buy from a seller that isn't an insurance company or maybe a new car dealer. Some brokers buy wrecks at salvage auction, quickly hang a few parts on the car to make it look like a light hit then flip it. Have a look here, this guy isn't a professional body guy but does make some very valid points. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLoojHPXWzE |

I found out that very few of the G-109 actuators exist in the aftermarket. The G-001 is very plentiful, and available from many sources for as little as $125 (made in China I am sure).

As jay_bob suspected, there are headlight washer under the bumper cover. I have no doubt the front was damaged. However, I will not complain one bit! For what it cost me, and what I have to do to make it road worthy, I am very happy! The other day I treated it to a trans fluid change, oil and filter change, and air and cabin filters. The seats are at the upholsterers, and should be done next week. Till then, I am waiting for the G-109 turbo actuator to arrive. I will then be able to get it smogged and registered......Rich
