The second to last picture, the overspray on the undertray, does that indicate at least the front bumpers been repainted? Why would they respray the front bumper while it's on the car? Or is that from assembly line?

If it's overspray that would not be from the factory. The bumper skins are painted separately before being assembled to the car. Possibly some reflection? But something to look at.

Could also have been a quick bumper respray for some rock chips.

Without see it I would say that is reflected light in the photograph. The plastic clips don't show any overspray. Good luck!

The plastic front bumper cover takes a LOT of stone hits on these cars and repainting one with stone chip damage is common. My "paint guy" notes the paint lays differently on plastic and steel panels and even factory paint jobs don't match exactly due to the underlying surfaces. Mine will probably have to go in this winter for matching after all the stone chips are removed.

Everything went quite smoothly. If you choose not to get the car, I can post details about it for anyone else who comes across this thread.

Vinzer decided not to purchase this vehicle and notified me that I could post details. My opinion of it in summary is that mechanically its sound, but due to bodywork and paint, its not worth the asking price. Here is a full gallery: https://goo.gl/photos/dLqWiJbZ6d2quqDA9

The battery was recently replaced and could be the source of the weird codes. Erasing and attempting retriggering them would be the first step.

The car has a Chrystler oil filter on it and should not be driven!

Looks like the old man that had this one couldn't drive.

Curious what happened to this car, it looks like my original red S2K, so I guess that means I'm old LOL. I sold it to a kid out of Columbus in the Spring of 16 with 38k miles, it should be obvious if you see the windscreen light and the big amp in the rear. The front bumper was resprayed as it had a lot of rock chips and I was trying to help the resale of the car. If the current owner is still around please reach out... BTW it had an OEM filter when I sold it

5 channel amp on custom panel, sub is behind it

Engine bay notice the Honda filter

Windscreen light that I should have kept...
