Totally agree with what Jim wrote. I've got dents and dings all over my car, and My car was in a front-end collision at one point in time, that's why I have DEPO headlights. I still like my car just as much as I would if it was in mint condition. Enjoy your solara man, Red is the best color I think the solara was offered in.

thanks for the welcomes.
i know the car's flaws, i saw them before i took it out in the rain to drive it.
the car was reconditioned, but dings or not, i still think its a lot cleaner than the beater i am driving now, and i know i will be happy with my solara :)

No car is perfect. Not one of them on this forum... And you WILL definitely enjoy your car.

to those of you who commented on the car being hit in the front...can you point out to me on how you can tell. maybe the pictures are deceiving, the car has an A title, i was told the only major damage to it was flooded floorboards. thats why it has new carpet.
I am buying it through a business that buys damaged cars to restore and sell. they are primarily a supplier of used parts. this explains the wrecked cars in the background.
thanks

sonofabitch! I figured that on a rainy day they'd have less customers, therefore more likely to give me a hookup price. After I took the car home there was hella scratches on the back bumper and paint spots on my hood! bastards.

i saw my car while it was dry and clean, inside the shop. it does have a couple dings which were pointed out, but that doesnt make me like the car any less. i am really excited to pick it up wednesday. i will have to get better pics

Maybe it's just the lighting but I think they are refering to how the paint on the bumper itself is a bit "duller" than the rest of the body.

Welcome btw. :)
