You guys are all nuts. That's not a dragon, it's Godzilla. Well worth the price.

The brakes look rusted and the headlights have hazing.

Actually, you're close. The Japanese word for Godzilla is Gojira.

I just noticed this now after looking more closely at the terrible pictures. I'm fairly certain that this car was in a front end collision. Here's why...

Look closely at picture number 3, the one focusing on the hood and front bumper.
Notice that the front bumper isn't painted with dragon BS, it's also in immaculate condition for a car with 130k miles on it. No chips/pits, etc.

Now look at the passenger side headlight. It looks flawless, no hazing, nice shine/reflection on it.

Then look at the driver's side headlight. Horrible oxidation/hazing, yellowing.

Lastly, the front license plate is oddly bent outwards, away from the passenger side, suggesting an impact from that area. Pathetic that the owner didn't even bother to spend the 5 minutes needed to bend it back in place.

The evidence suggests this car suffered a passenger side corner front end collision not long ago. The owner probably paid out of pocket to get it repaired and now wants to ditch this ugly vehicle to try and recoup his losses.

This is why I don't trust Carfax or AutoCheck, it's so easy to keep isolated incidents from being documented.

If this car ever does sell, I will "almost" feel bad for the sucker who buys it.

I think the fast and furious franchise is to blame for this...

Who the F made an offer on this??
