Exhaust tip looks out of place, and there are no fog lights. Rims are from an older maxima, scratch on the right corner of the rear bumper, no HLSD, the climate control module looks like nothing I've ever seen on a 5.5 before. Price is okay. You need to ask the owner if the car burns oil. Some 5.5 gen have bad piston rings, or valve stem seals, and can burn considerable amounts of oil.

Yeah scratched for me def don't want a accident car, and especially if the stuff isn't aligned right and to drive 3-4 hrs nahhhh

But honestly you have plenty of ppl selling cars that aren't honest with everything, so how could I tell if it's burning too much oil, because from reading around the forum I see these cars are known for burning oil ..but 1 quart every 3-4 miles I wouldn't mind

Best you can do is ask the owner and hope he'll be honest with you about the oil consumption...
