The front bumper seems to had some trouble and the body shop didn't adjust it properly (no money for a dealer repair for Angelina?); also why to change the Pirelli's that come as factory fit at 20 k miles for cheap Hankooks?

I'm not impressed with a prior famous owner, so it's way overpriced for what's left--a salvage-titled XJ that is still damaged. Why is there a seven-year gap with no registration renewals? Angelina drove a car with expired registration?

Aspects of the car are good, i.e the interior is beautiful, but he says there are no dings, so what is that right under the rear number plate? The front bumper is defiantly wrong, the chin tray is hanging off, and the corner is wrong. Perhaps Brad Pitt stuffed it when he borrowed it, or maybe it was Billy Bob?

Either way I wouldn't want to own any "Celeb" car as there is a risk of there being some illegal Drug use/purchase/smuggling having been done in/with the car. Try explaining that to the Customs people? "Well your sniffer dog thinks there is drugs in the car because it used to belong to Whitney Huston!" I don't think it'd wash.

Don't touch it for anything more than about $3 - $4 total. It may in fact be fine to drive but, at least in Texas a "Salvage" title guarantees a resale value of practically zero.
