I bought a car on ebay, had a forum member (established mechanic) inspect it and.....

Well the car was missing the trim on the rocker panels, the door sill plates, the rear bumper lower valance, some piece behind the passenger rear wheel well, and had clearly had the rear end of the body reconstructed.
You couldn't tell from the pics, but in person it was obvious the moment i looked at it.
Its been several months and I have noticed several other things.
The headlight clips are busted and they were glued in place with JB-weld.
The fuel filler has a problem... when you fill it all the way up the overflow drains into the trunk.
The other day the fuel gun didn't click off and pumped 5 gallons of diesel into the trunk. WTF!!!
The Bulb out notice that comes up every time I turn the lights on.... no bulbs are out. It is a wiring issue.
Highbeams don't work.
Spare tire is basically shreaded.
Ambient temp guage is 10 degrees off.
Several cracked plastic panels in the trunk.

In retrospect I think the mechanic knew the ebay seller.
