I notice that the shadow of the tailpipe is visible on the side of the car, which indicates that the exhaust pipe is leaning toward the camera. At any rate, I don't think I'd buy a car whose exhaust system can come off as a unit like that. The lack of bends in it (except for the ones that routed it around projections on the underside of the car) suggests that it wasn't wrenched off, but just popped off. Incidentally, there is no sign of a catalytic converter, either. Could it have been right next to the engine?
