    Two problems here. First, we never see the back end of the car. Too bad he couldn't be bothered to pull it out of the garage so he could take photos from all angles. For an asking price of almost 7 grand, you think he could do that.

    Second, this is one hell of a disclaimer:
    "That I know of"? Can't you look the car over and see for sure? Oh, I forgot, you didn't pull it out of the garage, so you yourself can't see if there is any damage in the rear.

    This absolves him of any responsibility for not reporting upfront damage to the car. Of course, buying a car is always "buyer beware," and you need to do your homework, but it's still weasely.

    New pics. Back of the car looks fine, of course bumper fillers are shot.

    Pretty nice looking wagon. Was the seller initially asking $7K? Price now reads $6,500.

    It's a good-looking car. I wonder if he knows of any damage yet.

    It does look nice from here. I wonder what it looks like dry so we could tell if it has a baked looking finish that needs clayed and compounded or not.
