Planning on buying this car today but...
Sup guys, does anyone recognize this car and know any history on it? The entire rear end was resprayed and did a terrible job so I passed on the deal. However, the dealership sent it out to get color sanded and they said it resolved all issues. Im very leary now knowing that the back end was resprayed yet the carfax shows no accidents/clean title. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

That price is $3000-$4000 too high for something that's been resprayed.
As for the car itself, there is a chance that the paint was damaged in a non-collision accident. In that case, all of the structurals would be fine, but the paint would need refinishing. It's worth asking some questions about, but only if you can get that price down.

In that case, the fender flares are almost surely the cause of the back needing respraying. I would imagine structurally the car is fine.
That said, fender flares, along with that front lip just scream rice. I wouldn't pay more than $14k for this car.

Fender flares and too high a price. Rear quarter panel work is hard to reverse. I would look elsewhere.
