Default Re: help my friend buy a XF

Just an FYI - I checked out this '05 Roadster . . . It is in T E R R I B L E condition! The whole car has been repainted and it looks like they used spray cans! I've really never seen a re-paint this bad. Lots of orange peel and many hazy areas. Obvious damage to the front bumper that was not repaired properly before painting over the damage. Cracking through the paint that looks like a dry lake bed! Missing radio antenna. Big dent in the panel above the trunk lid. After market chrome wheels are badly pitted. Some inner fender type pieces were laying loose in the trunk. Upper and right windshield surround moldings were off with the upper one missing completely (not sure what happened there because those were in place when the dealer photos were taken).

This car is a "rat" that needs LOTS of work . . . I didn't bother to drive it . . .
