I recently purchased a '97 ES300 with 84k miles. Car has never been in an accident, as confirmed by original owner and a professional mechanic.
I noticed the doors (all but the left rear) don't seem to close flush with the body - the doors seem slightly out of alignment. The edge of the door (not where the door hinge is) sticks out maybe 1/8 inch. It's just barely flush. I get very little wind noise, only on the driver's side. Otherwise the doors work fine. I took the car to a body shop for an opinion and the owner said he wasn't sure there is anything he could do and it's probably not worth me paying him to try. He was practically laughing at me because it's barely noticeable and the car is otherwise pristine. He basically said to live with it.
Most people would not notice or care but it bugs me and I would like to fix it.
It's 13 year old car so I accept certain things as normal wear and tear. Any thoughts? Anyone experience this?
