Car was crashed, no vin tag on the the trunk lid, pictures grainy but looks like the tag was painted over, so it's a respray likely of a trunk taken off another car that crashed into something with their front end. (How do I know? Because I've now owned two such trunks, thanks crappy body shops!)

Pull out the spare and foam holding the tools to see how far the metal reworking goes. Might've been backed into a wall light enough to just cause enough damage, however there's no pictures from a high angle showing the rear glass and roof, 'lets tint the rear so they don't notice it's not factory glass' me thinks it got hit hard enough to shatter that, which in my car that would have totaled it out.

If you want a cheap yella furs and you have a keen eye for body damage it might be worth the gamble, if you want a hassle free car in good condition this is a hard pass.

Edit with pics for those lazy if autotrader cooperates:
ol' yeller




tag should be to the right of the cord that goes to the license plate light and trunk release:
