So the fender and door ARE two shades. The car was wrecked on the front driver side so the fender and bumper were replaced. It was only cosmetic i checked it out really good. Along the same lines....the car has a salvage title because it was stolen, taken for a joy ride and wrecked. They ripped out the vin numbers so state police issued it a new one with new plate. It runs really good though and good milage at 57k. Ill check the brake fluid. The vdc switch doesnt seem to be stuck.

Car did drive pretty well though. the lights were another sale killer because the manager of the dealership told me "dont worry, ill get them turned off for you" uhhhh thats not what I want, I want whatever the problems are fixed. One of the lights was the airbag light and the upper glove box would not open well without a little force so that definitely turned me away as well. Hope you get everything worked out with the car though and congrats

Yes, its the same car! I was actually going to buy a different car that day and came home with this one. So I checked it out that day and the car has no damamge to the quarter panel, and the damage it has is only cosmetic to the front driver fender and bumper. The people selling it basically had no idea why it was salvage and since it was wrecked thats what they stuck to. I found that on the door sill it says "auto theft APD" with a new vin plate and number. they were asking 10,900 which is crazy for a salvage title car. I gave them 9k cash.
