Every panel on the car had been taken off and there was an RDOT sticker on one of the doors... The whole car needed to be repainted… All the seals needed to be replaced for the most part... The clutch didn't feel right... Let's just say my '91 is a 10 out of 10 compared to that car.
In addition to that... the entire car was wrecked at one point. The front frame/strut towers had paint work, the paint work was equivalent to maaco or worst. Every single rubber seal had overspray/red paint on them, clutch was supposedly "new" and needed replaced, timing belt/waterpump had not been done. The best part is the car had an autocheck score of 96 and a clean carfax. I drove a total of 20 hours for that car, rented a car, went through the process to bring the funds, etc etc. Every single lense on the car is broken, 80 grit sand paper marks on the rear hatch glass and other glass, climate control needing Brian K repair, wheel well liners ripped/missing, I could literally go on and on. I asked the seller for specific pictures/to inspect all body panel bolts and he insisted nothing was ever replaced or repaired. Later found out from Jose that he had previously worked at a body shop.
The car is a total nightmare and not only was my time wasted, but energy and $$.
