C'mom guys...

Look, water is still dripping off of the car. The owner probably just washed and only moved it a little so they're still some of the "instant rust" markings on the rotor. Tell the owner to take it around the block a couple times and then take some pictures... It hink it'll be fine.

i just thought, a little off your lines, but check with a wrench and see if it has had a front end hit, cause that bumper is bothering me, and it looks to be all stock pannels, so the only reason it would be back a little is if it had a good hit in the front, which could possibly be left over from a big front ender which could have bent the frame...

just a thought, cause i have seen tons of cars that look like that which have at one point gotten a pretty good punch in the mouth, just thinking

Maybe grooves from the low pad indicator.

Rotors are what, $120? for the pair. If that's the only thing wrong with it, you're golden

deff looks like the car was driven hard. 15K with rotor damage?

looks also like it is the rivets (imo) only way to know is to take it apart though.

super clean car though, id deff take it.
