or it could have been some cosmetic issue with the paint. however he could have had it re-sprayed and it did not match properly. you never know!

the only thing that bugs me is the hood not latching down properly.

Inspect it in person. These things usually become VERY obvious when you see them up close.

Could be the little hood "bumpers" are not adjusted properly. The one on the right side of the car could be a little high...or the left a little low.

I am just wondering, would you guys buy a car that has been in an accident but was fix at the dealership? My Town car has been so I am just wondering. What do you think from this picture, does it look accidental?http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/vbpgimage.php?do=full&p=2911

The car in question has definately been painted at some time. But just because it was painted doesnt mean it has been in an accident. How are the fender to door gaps? The hood can be ajusted to make up fot the bad flushness gap it has.

HEY HOTTIE....nice find depending, on price, mlg and condition.

Only one problem, its white....you have a black one, you will not like it, well, not as much (how can you not absolutely love any Lincoln! lol).

I went from blue:loved it, to white:hated it,
to black:Breakin Necks, SMOKING HOTTTT!!!

Trust me on this one Hottie, drive it around for a few hours, you will feel what Im sayin!

Looks like the bumper was replaced with a darker one and they didn't prime it the correct way, that is why it is darker. if they used the correct method (which is lite primer color to bring out the White) looks like the had either a black or a blue under it and just sanded and painted it. But that's IMO

My car's rear bumper and driver side qaurter had been repainted and its slightly darker than the rest of the car. I just found out a couple weeks ago as to why it was repainted. I guess the trans was screwed up and it would pop out of park.... So one day it was sitting in the previous owner's driveway, came out of park, rolled down the driveway and slammed into the neighbor's car that was parked directly behind the driveway.

Like FreeFaller said maybe just the hood stops need adjusting. It is hard to tell about the paint in the pictures........ Shadows

Mark0101 LOOKs good in the pictures

Could be a deer strike, private property accident or something else that doesn't get reported through the DMV
