There's a reasonable progression of color change probably due to lighting.
Thank you......you said it much better than I did earlier !

Folks, I meant what Bass just said !

If you click on the autotrader site it has more pics of it....looks good to me

The light doesn't make the difference perfectly down the door seam. Something is off with either the fender or door. With new tires and different shade on either the door or fender I would be looking to see if any suspension components were replaced on the drivers side front especially.

The eddies front drivers wheel looks pushed back in the wheel well as well. Is this place a rebuild place (get wrecked vehicles, fix them and sell them)? Many times a vehicle will have no accident history but will still be a fixed wreck. I know because I have done them myself. Its not always a bad thing, many shops do a great job fixing up the vehicles to original specs. However lots of times a rebuilt vehicle will have weird problems with things effected by the crash. My wifes mini van is a clear title no history rebuild. Yes it was cheap and in good condition but I have little problems with it from the crash like a broken steering pressure sensor plug, slightly bent sway bar endlink, bent wheel, small weird stuff like that. Normally wrecked vehicles have annoying rattles and squeaks from stuff being jarred loose as well.


Just saying, OP asked for opinions and input.

Good advice.....I would definately take a look at the suspension etc on that side since you guys see a difference.....I was just saying I can't see the paint difference in the pics....but I am not a trained eye for that.....but then again if it was hit on that front corner it doesn't make it junk....it very well could have been repaired correctly...although few and far between....some people do take pride in their work and repair things the right way.
