All exterior finishes are damaged uniformly: paint on the roof and wings is blistered, the B-pillar trim, roof rail rubber and bumper plastic are bubbled, the lens of the right rear light is crazed. Such uniform effect on paint, rubber, plastic and light glass points to heat or chemical contamination. Practically the whole body would need repainting and most trim parts and seals replacing — repair is not economical at MAX $10 820.

Damage6
  • ✕ Paint on the roof and wing surface blistered, coating raised in small blistersphotos
  • ✕ Black B-pillar trim covered with a rough, crystallised texturephotos
  • ✕ Rubber seal of the roof rail blistered and perishedphotos
  • ✕ Rear bumper plastic with a blistered, 'melted' texturephotos
  • ✕ Lens of the right rear light crazed and no longer clear over its whole area — the light needs replacingphotos
  • ✕ Rear right quarter panel with a dent under the light and scraped coatingphotos
To be checked2
  • ! Whether this is the effect of heat (near a burning object) or chemical contamination cannot be confirmed from the photos; no soot is visible, so I cannot confirm a fire theory
  • ! How deep the coating damage goes — whether polishing is enough or repainting is necessary — cannot be assessed from the photos, but blisters on several different materials indicate deep exposure
Checked, fine4
  • ✓ Airbags not deployed, interior clean and dryphotos ,
  • ✓ No warnings lit on the instrument cluster, ODO 25 119 mi (~40 425 km) matchesphotos ,
  • ✓ Engine bay clean, radiator support and side members straightphotos
  • ✓ Body geometry straight, door gaps even, front undamaged (photos 00, 01)

Cold winters, salted roads. A guess by the auction yard's location — where the car was driven, we do not know. Worth checking the underbody.
