5th gen on ebay... see a problem?

Check it out... go through the description and pictures. They never say that it has been wrecked... but if you look at the picture of the front end... notice one anniverary headlight... and another normal headlight! What gives. That's why I hate buying cars.

For buying a car he/she really cheaped out on the pictures. Makes me think they're hiding something. No rear shots? No trunk shots...well you get the idea. Maybe though just a bad camera, pics look low quality and are grainy.
Its not a bad price right now at $8g, but then they have that reserve nonsense. Just set the starting price higher. I just don't like that reserve business trying to get a feel for people and what they're willing to pay.

The thing is is that the car actually IS an 20th AE. Look at the interior. Someone must've stolen all of the parts off of it. :\

Stolen all the parts off of it? What parts are missing that make it AE... other than one headlight?
