Great advice, Sal. Thanks.

One of the reasons I'm willing to overlook a lot of these issues is the price, which is excellent. No idea why the visors are like that. Any idea how that could have happened?

He said specifically that he had the headstuds done and the top end rebuilt. He said he knew there was an issue because the engine started sounding "like an old VW". He said he had it done at a reputable local shop. He thought the job cost $4k-$5k. He has a bunch of receipts in the glovebox but couldn't find that one. He did have the one for the $1k+ airbox repair and the clutch replacement which was around $2k if memory serves. While I was there yesterday he called and left a VM for the mechanic that did the rebuild and headstuds asking for a copy of the invoice. Hopefully I will get a copy of that paperwork in the next couple days. He said it was done about 2 years ago and since it's his daily driver he estimated that would have been ~24k miles ago.

The front bumper could have gotten slightly bent down ("drooping") because of the recent accident. I noticed that too. I will definitely have them take a look at it during the PPI. If the accident did cause that, I'm not sure how easy it would be to fix it.

No idea why there is black on the lower door hinge.

The car is not in Elk Grove, CA.

Yes, the wheels are not great. But I've seen worse aftermarket wheels. I'll definitely change them. Thanks for all the feedback, guys!
