estalero is on a distinguished road
As I told, I bought this Alero in November from insurance auction with rear damage.

Why I did this?
I needed a new car, but as I had had financial troubles, I had almost no money.
I had my eye on Aleros for some time before, but I could not afford one in any condition. (interestingly I have not seen beater Alero for sale here)
It was black with beige interior, which is my favorite combo.
It was in very fresh condition otherwise for 10 year old car.
Odometer said 134 000km / 83 300 miles, which I could verify yesterday, as odometer frauds are rather common in europe.

I payd aprox. $1000 for it.

But I had no money to fix it, just my hands. So I wanted to fix it up temporary, get the paperwork ok and drive it like that for a while. So here are the photos before and after, interestingly there is no rust formed on the area without paint, though it has been approximately 7 months, 3 of them on salted roads since accident:
