I can't readjust the light bracket without removing the fender with is misaligned with the top of the hood. None of which is really visible unless you know what to look for. But it's always in the back of my head that the car is flawed from some shady business in the past.

Maybe it's worth paying for a couple hours at a bodyshop and have them sort it out. That's very much the sort of thing I wouldn't trust a dealer to do any better of a job on than it already is.

Nice car, I really like the 40th. Are the really going for that much $$ though? Dang that's pretty good resale value for a seller.

That's true. I just don't want this to snowball into a $1000+ fix for a few inches in fixes. I wonder if a shop would give quotes on what little idea I have.

I didn't think that price was bad. haha. I def overpaid on mine because they're rare as hell around my area. think mine was 24k after everything was over. Sorta sickening for a 2009.... But it did come with factory warranty left still since it was a CPO.

Balls. Big ones!

Worth asking at a shop or two. Guys that know what they are doing can do a lot of tweaking in a couple hours. No idea what the shop rate is there, but for sake of argument probably around $100. So for perhaps $200 to make that all go away for me it'd be worth it just to have it done and save the aggregation of trial and error yourself.

I don't follow prices really at all so my comment isn't from an educated perspective. My only real comparison is my own which was $29k Canadian for a 2016 base; essentially a brand new car for a bit less than that 09 after converting over to US.

I realize some options are different and it's not an anniversary model or anything of the sort, but brand new, zero miles, less dollars. That would sway me - not that I'm trying to sway you either way of course. Got to get what makes you happy.

Pft, I'm over here browsing autotrader for a deal on a Q50 Red Sport. Hopefully in about two years I can get one.
