I would tread carefully. It seems too good of a deal to be true. There isn't much mechanical info on their page. . . and why is the hood open!? :?

If it'* that cheap it most likely has a salvage title. Bent up hood doesn't help it'* cause.

Water damage too? Have a mechanic check it out for sure!

Well I don't know about you but I think it'* too good to be true (Probably because I'm canadian) But still I would call in And ask About the car, Especially the hood

A good rule to remember in all aspects of life is: If something seems too good to be true it probably is. In this case I feel like you need to pass on it. Something isn't right.
