        Looks good to me, just take it for a good test drive and listen for any strange noises or smells. Check for rust but if its been a texas car its whole life it should be fine.

          She's got low miles which is good, and a clean interior. But the exterior looks like a much higher mileage car. Missing fender trim, likely that fender has been damaged or replaced, etc. Also a missing lip. Leads me to believe that for a car with such low mileage it didn't have the most caring owners.

          Still, looks like a great solid car. Just not worth $4800. I would go $3000 at best, but if you really want to the car and want to negotiate with this seller, $3500 would be my absolute max..
