Does anyone know this GA E55 (now in PA)?
I'm interested in this car:

Has anyone gone to look at it?
Does anyone know it from before the crash?
Thanks.

No... but looking at the pics, I'm 99% sure it has a prior front-end collision. And judging that the body shop didn't get the correct bumper (no headlight washer & parktronic), I certainly question the quality of the repair.
The price is not that good anyway for a reconstructed car... why risk your money?

I saw a pictures of the car from when it was damaged. It was a front end damage. Not sure of the quality of the repairs. Some of the items I see on those pictures are:
1.Headlights are the pre-facelift (2003-2004)
2.No park tronic or headlights washers in the bumper (strange for 2006 car) there is a washer system button next to the headlights switch, there is a park tronic button by the shifter
3.Fog lights are miss matched
4.No horn
5.Lights error on the dash

Thanks for the responses.
vioilio - regarding the headlights. If I look at this ad http://www.pagetrader.com/e55/ the headlights seem identical to the salvage car on CL.
I was aware of #2, but hadn't caught #3 - thanks.
The car did pass a PA inspection, but I'll definitely check on #4. Which pic gives you the info for #4?
Re #5 - it looks like that error has to do with one of the lamps. I'm not familiar enough with this car to know what that might be. Any ideas?
Thanks again!

Here is all the info you need regarding the headlights and the error code on the dashboard. Again I'm all assuming this by looking at the pictures but 99% I think I'm correct.

When you look at picture number 14 from the ad (open hood) the horn is supposed to be on the passenger side by the air scoop and I do not see it.
