from the other site's fs : "the Carfax History report indicates an accident in 2009. All the body panals look original with original paint, possibly the front bumper had been repainted."

So this is a newer 2008, looks nice, but with no S and no Cab options. What is your opinion on the price? It looks tempting to me. And I'm pretty darn sure I haven't seen any 2008's in this condition in this price range.

Fyi, I have no affiliation with this add, and who knows, it could have been in 10 accidents and floods! But for now, let's make the assumption no such hidden issues...

Don't have time to read all the posts so I hope I'm not restating what someone else said.

I don't like the looks of the car. Pics are not high enough res for me. Oh, no straight on shot of the front of the car. A very important angle and when missing...

What I see if the top gap of the left and right taillights are different.

The left rear (?) fender lip looks well like it was not repaired properly.

I did see one post in which someone commented about the car's ride height and the tire bubble. The car does seem to have a higher than normal ride height.

I'd have to see this car up close and personal to satisfy myself.

But based on what I see I don't like it.

Sincerely,

Macster.

Something is fishy about this car. Why would anyone want to make an image of the ad description, instead of typing it inside the ad itself?

If you are going to put it on Craigslist, you want people to be able to find your car, by searching for keywords. If you put the ad descriptions in a picture, that guarantees that no one will be able to search for your car, unless they decide to search only by the ad title, not description.
