I was in a similar situation once, had my eyes on a Dc5r but nevered ended up getting it because the seller lied about the condition. It had infact been reparied on both side panels and the chassie wasnt very straight. Lucky i got a 3rd party to check it out because it was hard to tell by looking at it they repairers did a good job on the panels looked pretty straight to me. Is the car your about the purchase the one on carsales for $26,000 blue Dc5r?
