The state needs receipts from the shop where the new door and fender were bought. However, the person who fixed it cannot get those receipts. The vehicle does have hail damage. I have also taken the radio out as well as the back deck speakers. These were all aftermarket."

• "The engine was rebuilt within the last 600 miles of use. The tires are all in like-new condition. The truck will not pass inspection because of a vapor leak in the fuel system. The truck has a lot of rust and the floor panels have holes in them."
