so the car-check was a bit dissapointing. We did not buy the car for the following
reasons:
the car has scratches and dents complete around the car. Back bumper
chrome comes up on 2 places of about 5 cm in size so it definitely needs to be rechromed. Front bumper has a dent on the left side. Trunk got
2 rust holes about 10 cm in size. The right back fender where it goes to the backdoor is completely rotten and also the back of the wheelhouse. These rust wholes needs definitely to be welded to get the german TÜV check completed to be allowed
to drive it on the road.
Technically the car was really solid, engine and transmission runs good.
But the rust problems and the fact that the whole car has dents and scratches all
over the place (all 4 doors, all front and back fenders, chrome trim around wheelhousing) mad us not buy this car.
The dealer would go down to 6.000 Euro but we think that this also is too much.

i will upload some pix on tuesday when i got a faster internet connection
