it would cost more to make it look good again because parts aint cheap. if you were planning to roll around looking like that then its your call, but then again why would you want to

I agreed with YviE. Just think about if 4 hours trip for 5k car with 200k miles. Who knows what the actual maintence history is on this car. You can drive it and get cought up into it and find yourself a sucker if anything happen on the way home or with in the next say 5k miles. I know its buy as is but I think if you add a little more $$$ you can get a car with less milage and it be a safer bet.
Also the car has been in a wreck. Popped hood and bumper out of alignment dont happen randomly. I would hate to hear that you drove 4 hours for a car than find out it has more body damage to it. Can you image haveing to replace the hood, possible fender buckle or who knows what else may be damage?
Dont get cought up with the flashy LED tails and the kit. Also ask yourself this before you buy this car or any other GS.
Do you want a V8 (GS400/430) or V6 (GS300). You get about the same MPG with both. Just search it out.
Do you want black interior or tan?

notice on the rear pic not only does the bumper look funny but if you look at the trunk lines on the left side they look way off but on the right they look way to close. thats from a wreck man, i dont care what he says...
also look REALLY closely at the picture showing the right rear side....look at the taillight where the quarter panel meets the trunk on the upper left of the taillight.....notice it doesnt line up here? ITS FROM A WRECK.....i took off my trunk and put it back on and it lines up perfect.
also the left side of the rear notice the chrome trim molding doesnt line up well either....
just move on, dudes lying if he says it hasnt been in a wreck, no im not saying he wrecked it, it coulda been done before him but it def has been wrecked

Looks like it was in a nasty accident, the hood looks like its closed (judging by the body line to the fenders) but is hella lifted in the front like it had front end damage. And is it me, or does that look like a replica (cant remember kit name)
As all have said, stay away! Looks like a 12 year old owns it. If he takes care of the body as well as it looks imagine how under the hood was taken care of

Don't buy on impulse, you will regret it later! That car looks like a piece together. Nothing lines up at all. Go to craigslook.com, enter all of your info, and see what else is in your area. AUTOTRADER.COM is pretty good too. Good luck, but stay away from that train wreck! You'll thank us later.

Man! I wouldn't take this car if I were you. I can make sure that it has been in an accident before. Looking to the front hood, it doesn't fit the body anymore. and the back is also kinda not in proper place. Leave this car, you're gonna need big bucks to repair it. Happy hunting!

I would wait. The miles are too high. I know you're probably excited and are ready to pull the trigger on this thing, but shop shop shop and be patient you'll be happier in the long run.
