strips bolt, nuts have locktite on them knowing my luck, and the wire harness is soldered

The fact that I had to sand down the helper spring bolt for the clutch, my front bumper is misaligned, the battery cover has plastic dremeled out, and something rattles in the hatch should prove my car blows to work on.

Pretty sure the car was in a front end collision and was either repaired without an insurance claim or carfax never updated the listing. The car was clean when I ran a report during purchase. But I am just noticing more and more small things that make me think things were done to it in a halfassed manor.

That could very well be right. Certainly not the first time that would have happened.
