Need help buying a used FX45 out of state

mtbfx, let me first say thank you for taking the time to go check it out. Very cool of you to do this for a complete stranger. I appreciate it very much. Thank you.
 
youre welcome. actually its my way of saying thanks to the forum as well. the members have been friendly, helpful, and key to my fx ownership, mods, and experiences for a long time. also, it was great to drive another fx again. any questions on this fx45 just let me know.

p.s. once you get your new ride fx or not, i highly recommend klasse for your exterior. search for klasse fx35 here or on google and you can see how shiny i kept my ride thanks to this product.
 
Ok, so I was able to stop by the buena park location and take a look at the fx45 they have there. Wasn't able to start it or take it for a test drive as they were very busy and the wait to get a sales rep was like 30 min and I had my family with me, but anyway, got a look look the car and took some pictures as well. Overall, looks to be in good condition. Only has 49k miles on it and doesn't seem to have been in any major accidents. All body panels line up, no irregular paint swirls, and no door dings that I was able to see. Only blemishes was on the rear bumper on the lower black part where it looks like a license place hit it just enough to make a mark, and front bumper on the left which looks like it may have been pushed in slightly. Interior looks clean too with the front seat in fairly good condition with no tears or excessive wear. I also noticed it comes with the rear cargo cover, which is a nice added bonus! So, bottom line, I think it's worth taking a second look as the car has low miles, good condition inside out, and although I didn't get to drive it, can't imagine much wrong with it given the fact that the car seems to have been relatively well taken care of. If anything, might be a good idea to check carfax and service records to see when and where the car was serviced. I think that would give you a good idea as to the condition of its mechanics. Here are some cell phone pics I took.

^ Bonus points for dragging the family along - good job!
I like those convenient key boxes that dealers hang outside the window. With the iKey, it picks up the signal while still in the box. One can unlock and start the car to further inspect without bothering a busy sales rep. I would always discourage anyone from driving (or even slightly moving) the car without permission though.
 
Thanks 35ROK for taking the time to go out. I appreciate it very much. It's so nice to know people are willing to go out of their way to do something nice for someone. I can't thank you enough.

I couldn't tell from that first image of the headlight/bumper what you were referring to. Can you elaborate? Is the issue with the bumper or the fender?

Thanks!
 
The area where the bumper meets the fender, close to the black wheel well trim, the seam isn't spaced as consistently. Seems like its a tiny bit pushed together which could possibly mean the bumper was pushed in at one time. Just nit picking here. I've bought a few used cars in the past and one of the things I look for are how the body panels line up. Everything looks original tho so should be fine.
