Well, I guess my untrained eye didn't pick them up. The only difference I know of is between the AP1 and AP2 (front bumper/headlights). Other than that I have no idea. What other differences are there?

Ha!! the old spontaneous pneumothorax. Been there done that. I was in the hospital for ten days. They sent me home, collapsed again, back to the hospital for another chest tube. And anyone that has had a chest tube, lets just say not a whole lot of fun. Anyway another ten days hooked to the wall and ALOT of morphine later, they sent me home.
The car looks good. The driver side bolster does get the most wear but that doesn't look to bad just be careful when you get in and out of it. I would have it checked out by a machanic and do a carfax on it. That is just SOP with any used car.
Good luck. And enjoy!

Best wishes on the recovery. Find the car that's just right for you, but don't waste any time! I know how unexpected health issues can come upon anyone, at any time; I know... lost my medical and was grounded and life hasn't been the same

Oh yes, spontaneous pneumothorax for the loss. First time it collapsed it went down 60-70%. Did the chest tube and morphine IV thing. Let me out after a week or so. Second time it was down about 30% but still slowly deflating. So they stuck a camera in there and looked for "blebs". Didn't find any and they proceeded with some "mechanical pluradiesis". I don't know about the spelling but he basically rubbed my lung/chest cavity raw so it would scar up and hold the lung to the ribcage (as it was explained to me). Another week or so with a chest tube and an epidural this time and I'm on my way. Go back a month later for a follow up, he tells me it's going back down, we look at some x-rays. Son of a gun it is. Chest tube #3 + talc (a powder which is supposed to act like a glue) + epidural #2. Week later I'm out. Here I sit now typing this while under the influence of prescription drugs. I haven't had a weekend where I could go out and do anything since early January. Suckfest.
It did wake me up though. mine was 10 years ago. Now I run or mountain bike a couple of times a week and I am definatly in better shape.
Good luck
