You have a point. I actually forgot about the accident when I made the original post but thought of it later. What can I say? The car was hit when it was very new and fixed. It's not salvage, ( the damage was not enough $$ to total the car), and the damage was also not as fatal to the car as I thought when the accident happened. My point in the thread when it happened was that I would not want an almost brand new car that had been damaged like that and fixed and that I thought that the insurance co. should give him a new car. They thought differently.

I changed my mind somewhat when I saw the quality of the repair work, both during and after completion, it was incredible. I have a good eye and believe me when I say that you cannot tell this car has been hit. As for the tire wear, he hit a pothole on the freeway in San Fran(!) and bent two rims. He got them fixed and they put the tires back on in the wrong position, i.e. they put both fronts on one side of car. I switched them today, putting them back in correct position with 2 best tires on front. All tires are very good but 2 have slight wear and 2 look new.

The guy who owns it is super-cool and he'd make someone a good cash deal on it. That's the only reason I'm posting it here. Sort of a pre-sale deal. The car WILL sell on eBay. It's a 2011 and it will sell for about 60% of MSRP.
