I'm sure it'll do fine for a daily.
I'm struggling to think of a more boring modern car out there than an avensis though and struggling tbh

but like I say, as a daily hack I'm sure it'll do you well

On the first pic the doors look a different colour to the front wings....? Check carefully....

So long as it's all straight and solid and it's not expensive, it doesn't matter though nitin - not for a used daily.
If it's top dollar though, then this is something to barter the price down with, if not, don't worry about it.

That's not something often heard on this forum.

Again. Milenium silver is a pain in the facepalm to blend. The tiniest scratch on the door requires a FULL side respray.

SO the wing "MAY" have been sprayed but not matched propperly due to its bastardness.

Ooh you bitch!

(As it happens I agree with Wurly on this one, mind you)

Not a big deal at all, but might be a useful bargaining tool.

Today, a technician spent 1:45 adjusting my tracking. This is the first time in the car's history, that the tracking was done properly.
The difference is amazing, it's like driving a different car!!

They're not clever, but they are a hoot, eh @Donald.

Classic or 'new'?
