Is it me or is my car sitting a bit high in front?

The ride height looks about right for a standard car :thumbup

It does appear to look a bit high in the photo but as long as it's the same on the other side then it might not be a problem.
Stuck shock absorbers or rotted leaf springs can give a hard ride  and keep the ride height up a bit as well....

Well, actually everything seems alright on both sides, seller claims the car only did 46.000km, about 29.000mi, and hearing the engine I could believe this, or it had to be rebuild, now the front is as high as new and I actually cannot find big issues on the car so I'm starting to believe the numbers on the odo are true. Guess I got lucky with this one :D
