Its priced a little high with the body damage but not outrageously so given how few there are left. Thats pretty average condition for the price bracket tbh. To get something significantly better you're going to be in the 10-15K range.

The driver's door has probably been fiddled with. Its not uncommon for them to end up out of alignment like that, and the window frames are notoriously difficult to get right if they have to be removed for repairs. Ditto the bumper - the brackets on the wings bend slightly leaving the corners sticking out like that

The corroded fuel door and door triangles are standard fitment these days. They all go like that eventually. Many fuel doors have been replaced but the door triangles are an ordeal to get to and require the door completely stripping, then you have to line the window frame up again. Its common for the black B-pillar trims to suffer the same way.

The PS1 frame is how they are. They were dealer-fitted and all that kit was knocked up by a small British electronics manufacturers, hence why it looks a bit agricultural. Shame it didn't work though. I've yet to encounter one that does.

The boot cable grommets are all like that, unless the previous owner was dilligent enough to fit one of my polyurethane replacements. Its unrelated to the parking sensors. That's probably because one sensor is bad or damp. Common problem, and cheap enough to solve.

On to the next one...
