I saw the damage, but how can you tell it was repainted? He says it has 230,000 miles and he sent me a picture of the top of the title, although I believe if it was a restored\salvage title that would have been marked on part of the title not shown.

I started looking into the VIN and so far have only seen that it has not been officially stolen or salvaged.

He sent more pictures:

One concern is that the title is barely two months old. He said that he was driving all of the time for work, but is able to work closer to home now.

I suspect I will be unable to drive down to Tucson, check it out, have a mechanic inspect it, and then get it titled all on Christmas Eve.
