I'd shy away from the hit one.....

The other looks clean for sure, certainly a decent buy.....

But there are some things in the ad that raise a few alarms, such as the mentioned warranty on the paint...it says just had done, and then a couple lines under it says "original paint"

I would certainly say that its worth a look though......that is if your interested by an N/A S4.........

its very had to speculate on the cost of repairing that car given that I can only see pictures...

There are far too many components just behind that front corner to know exactly what is bent and what isn't from the pic.

Just a rough guesstimate would be 1500 bucks though, given what needs to be refinished

edit: what's an S4, you'll find all the answers you're loooking for the FAQ for FC sticky at the top of the 2nd gen tech section

Nice low miles. If you have a friend that can paint that seems like a good deal

if the first one is supposed to be a GXL, where's the power steering? It's listed but I don't see it.
