"JUST SERVICED," says the description.

Let's see...

A collision that caused the car to be totaled and written off by insurance...
Warranty voided by the manufacturer
Repaired and a salvage/repaired title issued

And they still want $15k?

Perhaps for $1-2k it might be OK to take that risk -- you just have it crushed if any major problems crop back up!

I wonder what would cause this outside temp reading.

You can readily see the hood is misaligned and does not close properly over the right headlamp. The wheels also look like ill-fitting replicas.

Now you got me looking at the fit...

Note the position of the front wheel on this side relative to the wheel well.

I had an '86 Mustang GT that looked like that after being "fixed" when it should have been put out to pasture.

I'd love to see the alignment specs

We have a remote thermometer thingy at home... The temp/humidity sensor that sits outside is in a plastic box that we keep in the covered section of the patio. It gets direct sunlight for about 30 minutes or so in the morning -- so gives false temp readings until the shade comes back.

I've seen it hit the "low 130s" in the summer here -- but that is due to direct sunlight on the housing. Actual temps were obviously well below that (usually the 90s...).
