in one picture you can see the mess up between the front bumper and fender.

another you can see the hood messed up. or maybe it's just opened but latched?

and HOW ABOUT THAT ENGINE? lol

I think it's a "very nice car." what about you guys? lol

It took me a while to understand what that last word was... Cuations = questions.

Although they also stated that it runs very "rough" so... I would call just to see how they are. For all we know they could be illiterate or a bit slow. Bless their soul.

Shady pictures aside, I really don't understand why most Craigslist/ebay ads seem to be written by 5 year-olds. I will pass an ad written like that, no matter how good the deal seems.

Maybe he's retarded or is Nigerian and he's trying to scam someone into buying his 4cyl Maxima.

Look at the picture of the Engine bay. That is not a VQ or even a 6cyl engine for that matter. It is definitely a 4cyl.
