    The bumper looks really banged up. You could alway low-ball due to cosmetic issues and have the bumper resprayed. As far as I can tell, that's the worst part. Maybe the rear bumper too, if the front looks that bad.

    Who sells a car with dirt all over it??

    some chick i believe.

    Theyre asking 7500 only because thats what they claim they owe on it. Im not sure who the bigger idiot here is. Me for wanting that hunk for 7500, or her for selling it in that condition for that much. It does only have 96k on it...

    The wheels don't appear to be curbed to Helen Keller standards, which may mean nothing, or could be an indicator that the car has been cared for over the years.

    I'll be the knucklehead to suggest that a two-hour drive is a worthy investment to determine for yourself if this is a good deal or a too-good-to-be-true deal.

    Even with better pictures, you'll still end up driving the 2 hrs to see it. Listen to the engine, etc...

    Just looks dirty and bug splattered to me. Tell them to wash it and send you better pics from all angles. Note the rear window trim tho... needs to be fastened back down.
