John Richards Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi Guys, I am shopping for a new(used) car and have landed on a nice clean 2005 STS, base V-6, 50 K miles, runs out great. In going over the car I noticed the hood seems to be made of plastic, it is very light and does not seem to be steel? I didn't have a magnet so I couldn't test it that way. With tapping finger nails it sounds nothing like the fenders. Is the original hood on these STSs steel or am I looking at a replacement Hood? Note - the Autocheck is fine/clean and as a former(old) insurance adjuster, I can find no other evidence that the car was ever hit. The guy was asking $13,900, I got him down to 12K but we're still 500-750 apart as the car does need new rubber all around. Thanks for the feed back.

JohnnyG Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 The hood on my 2008 DTS is plastic. Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
