Looks like something is definitely wrong with the hood!

 

I'd personally stay away fromt he car, maybe its just the color but some of the panels just don't look right to me.

 

Doesn't look like passenger fender and door are lined up either from the pics. Far as hood goes, see if the front adjusters are to high. Not sure if these cars have them right off hand like the old cars do. Might just be an easy adjustment problem. Can't return it so gonna have to live with it. Run it by a body shop and have them look at it. Kinda like an estimate. Should be free. Then you will know if it was wrecked. Could have just been a minor issue.

 

Looks Like a Nice Monte..
The space on the hood looks a little off not to bad..

 

center console lid in the pics is missing......

 

The fender was the panel I was thinking of. When I bought my LS with a salvage title it had a problem with the way the hood sat and it was just an easy adjustment. I'd say as long as there is not frame damage then I guess its not a huge deal, but for the dealer to list it as having no accidents? When it clearly looks as if it has been is pretty misleading.

 

Well you're right, carfax only has reported damage. But let me throw this possibility out to you.

Obviously the car has been modded. It has the black headlight assemblies, the screens in the headrests, etc. Perhaps the previous owner had replaced the stock hood and front bumper cover/grill with aftermarket pieces. Like an RKSport kit for example. Then when they decided to sell the car, they de-modded some of the car, but didn't do a good job of re-installing and adjusting the original pieces.

Just a thought.

 

Always possible! And I totally didn't notice the black healights until you said something.

 

Those center console lids don't stand up to a lot of abuse. Might've broken off at the hinge and never replaced. Or maybe the previous owner mounted something to it and drilled a bunch of holes in it.

Either way, check the local junk yards. If you have a junk yard that let's you pick the parts off yourself, go that route. Should be an easy replacement.
