Nice clean car per the pics. If it checks out to seller's description, somebody will get a nice little project.
The seller's picture of the marker light area tells me that there's bodywork behind the flaking patches of paint. Worth verifying the extent. As Kurt suggests, the front-fender pinstripe 'graphics' are subjective taste features. A qualified PPI is in order, as always. Hope it goes to someone deserving!

no time to use punctuation anymore its a lost art amonth those who have only thumbs apparently
In the mid 1980's, I had a flock of summer interns. Top 5% of their classes at top-5% engineering schools. They should have been the pick of all the litters. I quickly found out that they did not know how to write a simple business letter, did not have a clue how to structure a sentence, or structure sentences into paragraphs. It would seem that these basic skillls would be considered essential in a technical world where nothing exists until it is written down.
Fast-forward to today. Grammar (???) schools are moving completely away from teaching cursive writing. Papers and projects aren't accepted for grades unless they are submitted electronically. Submittals are 'tested' with a program that searches the internets for the sources of your plagiarisms. I suspect that a slide rule to todays students looks like an abacus did to me.
Now what was your question?

When I was in college (2004-2008) my papers were submitted twice. Once to the teacher and the second to an online database. The database compared the location of information, word usage, sentence structure, sources, and other "proprietary" perimeters within your paper to all other papers ever submitted. The teacher then received a list containing a percentage match if any. 2-5% was acceptable. Anything higher would result in extreme scrutiny from the teacher. I always wondered how many different ways can you analyze someone or something... seems like "plagiarism" is statistically unavoidable with this system... oh well, way off topic.
By the way, I must have been literally the last age taught to write in cursive. In my grade school submitted papers were required to be in script. I have never met anyone younger than me who had the same.
On to a more important note... That is a really nice car. Certainly the way I would want to outfit a S4... sans pin striping.
