Went to view a car today similar to this.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Pictures looked decent and the price was right. I got there and it had clearcoar peeling and a couple dents as expected all fine.

Then I looked at the arches and there was a large amount of rust that definitely wasnt in the photos and a mirror was lazily taped on and flapping in the wind.

That definitely wasnt in the ad. The pictures were recent so I have to deduce they photoshopped these flaws out. The photo above is from the ad, in person the entire arch was rusted but you can barely see any rust in the ad. Even a bad potato pic would show the rust this car had.

Watch out for shopped car ads people!

That sucks, dude. 106s aren't really known for rust, so it probably had quite a hard life.

I hope the next one you have a look at works out.

I think they might have found a completely different car in the same shade of color and used it for pictures.

The plates matched though so eithet they switched the plates or shopped them onto anothet car. The background of the picture is the front of the dealer too.
