While we're on the topic of paint, this car isn't on Craigslist, but it looks very odd with a smoothed bumper:

It's also overwhelmingly white from a full respray.
That actually seems decent, but I do see scuffs and it looks like it hasn't been washed. The interior is in pretty good condition overall, and the chrome wheels look great.
The main thing that caught my eye was the passenger side fog light. It looks like the inner parts of the light corroded, or something of the sort.. Very odd.
Wow. That is quite a bit of oxidization... I don't see a single panel or trim piece that doesn't need body work.

Yeah then the price should reflect the $8000. paint job.
I can show you 4 older LS's that are way better paint wise than that.
Look at post #24 and that was a $1000 car driver fender was fixed at one time rest is factory paint.

I can't even tell the difference in paint on that car. Looks like a perfect match.

Somebody will buy that car for way more than $600 lol
I can understand passing on this car for one with better paint if that's important to you, what I don't understand is the surprise and frustration displayed when someone has the audacity to sell a car in this condition. It's a really old
Car, most people don't expect perfect paint when they buy a car this old and this cheap.
