    Looks OK from a distance but a distance from "nice" as it sits and the title's missing. 5-10 minutes with a clay bar and spray wax would help the rust dripping down the side from looking so bad, an hour polishing just to get the finish from being oxidized would help immensely too. They don't even have to remove scratches, just the "rail dust" and then the oxidation then wax it. Sorry if I'm not familiar with these finishes but this one looks a bit dull to me.

    For a complete, running and not rusted out GM clamshell, this should go fast at the price. But interior pics would help.

    I do have to admit it doesn't look like a rusted wreck, just like it sat in a barn or a garage for years. There's a rust bubble on the fender between the driver side front tire and front door though.

    At first I couldn't figure it out, but is amiss with the back bumper. No mention of it, but it looks like an aluminum veneer meeting the impact strip. No bumper jack notch and the license area is funny looking. Missing the bumperettes too. I suspect this is rustier than it appears.

    Seems like LynolsOffice bought this one too, it looks like the same car; the Craigslist pics are gone now but I did note that rust on the front fender (which the one in the video has) and the one in the video's the same color, is it the same car?
