But,  driver's
side back panels appear caved.

that's the reflection of another cars wheel in the paint, the panel is
straight.   i talked to the guy on the phone for about 30 mins or so,  its
close enough for me to look at..i live near it.  He said there are no  rust
issues but the clearcoat is dead from the sun.  the paint is funky on  pass side
slider and behind it from a bad respray from the typical sliding door
swipe at the bottom which was repaired.  His dad bought it new from  jim wynn
vw... then he gave it to his grandson to drive, hence the stickers  etc.  he
never drove it in the winter though...so it doesn't have the seam  rust
...but it did sit outside. Since it has has been inspected regularly  here in Pa
you can do a carfax on it and you can verify the mileage which he  said was
actual.   He said you can drive it home, tho it needs some  exhaust work...

bottom line is it needs a paint job if you want it perfect..  but its  a
low mileage westy.. and for $7500 it seems like a deal to me.
