Here are some pitures showing how the intend to repair the damage parts made to my "old" SC.

Right rear, this means that there is a difference how the rear wheels are in relation to each other, right rear is 0.8 inches too far forward.

Parts from a scrapyard; (and there is a lot more parts in the front and in the rear).

I can not understad that the car had been owned before me for two years by a Toyota mechanic.

Now I hope that the next SC is in much better condition.

update on Monday (or whenever you get to finalize the deals)

Hi Harold
I bought the gray Sc for 77.671 US, the Pebble Beach unfortunately it had been completely repainted and it did not look good when it came out
in daylight, the guys at Kaiser told me that I should not buy that car.

The gray SC was registerd for trafic in december 2008 i.e. it still has warranty.

Thanks "barncat", Although I had to pay a much higher price for my new Sc, I can only say it was worth it.

Well... As the saying goes, alls well that ends well, or the American idiom: Third times a charm!
While your first two attempts may have not been a success, the thrid try is good luck. A similar phrase 'third time lucky' is used in the UK..

Beautiful car. Have fun with her!
