Possible written off car?

Hmmm, I'm looking at this Camry but I get the impression I have a sketchy seller or a curber foisting a body damaged vehicle on me.

What do you guys think? What's making suspicious is those stupid hood pins which are a cheap redneck fix for a misaligned hood that's not closing properly. Look at the panel gap on the driver's side between the fender and driver's door. And also the picture with the headlight. Look at the gap between it and the signal lamp.

Also the front bumper colour doesn't match exactly. It definitely looks like it was in an accident.

I personally wouldn't touch it. There is a lot of Camrys out there, and I see no reason to get a crashed one.

The gaps appear pretty wide for a Gen 3, they were well built cars. Hood pins suggest hot rodding the car or at least the illusion of being able to go fast for the owner.

If concerned move on, plenty of used Camry's out there.
