Help telling if GS430 has been hit
Hello everybody,
I am new here and want to know if anyone can tell if this car looks like it may have been in a accident.
The line that seperates the front fender and the trunk looks thick.
Thank you

How about more pics; some showing the engine bay from different angles. Also some from different angles from the outside as well. Do you see any paint over spray in the engine bay? The gap between the fender and the hood could be from the hood needing adjusting. From this pic the hood looks like it has a slight bend in it, but that could be the way the pic was taken.

Bro there is a dent by the grill. Could have caused a lift in the hoods alignment from what looks like a low speed contact with something. But at the same time the hood still lines up with the curves of the headlights pretty well so the lift on the side of the hood could be unrelated. Get more pictures different angles.

ok, any as far as the cars mechanical condition is concerned is there anything i can do to figure out if its a keeper?
I am aware of checking fluids and asking for mechanical records, but any tips for these cars?

Looks like a CLEAN to me bro... You can EASILY tell with silver models from a good distance away in the sun. The different color grey shades should stand out. If the paint color wasn't matched well. Mine was hit on the passenger side but I didn't notice until quite a while after I bought the car. It looks good all around. From the pics it doesn't look like it's been crashed. That line between fender and hood is an indicator it has been taken apart before. Mine has it too lol. Don't worry about it tho bro!! You got yourself a CLEAN GEM right there.... TAKE CARE OF IT

Wow I wish I was lucky enough to find a Silver/Black 430 when I was out looking for one. Love those rims.
I think the hood is just bent a bit, everything looks great. What year is it?

Bro if the engine is good and it shifts smoothly, GET IT before someone else runs off with the goodies..... ..... You will regret if you don't. That things looks clean and in stock condition... Clean virgin untouched... I would grab it. IMO.
