    Nice car, read up on the leaky exhaust coolant heater, and blown head gaskets

    The accident on 5/17/23 doesn't bode well. Check the right front hood alignment, right front fender, and take a really good look at the right front bumper cover.

    The other red flag is that the car spent the first part of its life in IL, where I think they might use salt on the roads in the winter. Gotta get under it and check for rusty suspension/frame components.
