Default Anything Wrong with this picture?

I might be driving pretty far away to check out this sc400. So i would like to post some pictures of it so u guys can point out any problems i might encounter when im there inspecting teh car for myself. There seems to be some sorta dent in the bumper so it doesn't sit flush with the hood, other then that i cant tell from my quick look over. The asking price right now is 3,500 and it has 134,700 miles. So here are the pictures:

if the pics were better we could probally help more but i did notice in the first pic, right btwn the wheel and the door - looks repainted - might just be the quality of the pic ..
and the window thing(donno the name) looks like half chrome and half black.. why?.. mine is all black.. (first pic also)

thats all i can see wrong other than wat u already pointed out..

Is it just me or is one tail pipe poking out further than the other?

well looks like it might have been in minor fender bender, hood is kinda iffy where it lines up with bumper. super ghey double din and who ever did the install sucks at how they moutned it, gay wood grain that dosent match the rest of the car, half chrome trim on ONE b-pillar.

Yeah that interior is WHACK. But, as for the chrome B-pillar, its cause the black part has peeled off that much. Mine is starting to peel also, there is an easy fix for that and it is to just paint over it. As for the one tailpipe sticking out, thats because an exhaust hanger is probably bent down there, easy fix to get done by a muffler shop for a minimum charge if you don't know what you are doing.

CAn;t tell if its the hood thats raised or if its the bumper thats pushed in over by the driver's side headlight...either way you shouldn't need to replace it, a body shop ought to be able to fix that up.

from what you guys have been telling me i get the impression that i should stay away...far far away...lol...anywayz how about this car. Any noticable problems here?







in the third picture there seems to be some sorta black spot next to the steering wheel. It looks like it has a dash kit that matches with the stock wood
I believe its a 92 with new taillight, and the asking brice is 4,500 (obo)

That hole in the dash is for a security package that i believe was an option at some point or is a common aftermarket alarm setup. I recently spoke with an owner of a black/black 5 speed 1996 SC300 that had that same hole in that same location, except his had a little blue LED that flickered along with a chirp from his car when he locked it.

that black SC has the 97 tails and front bumper also judging from the shape of the foglight

The owner seemed kinda mixed up on wether it was an SC3 or 4 . Anyways it looks like we might have a "winner" of the two i posted. I'll try to get more pics.
