I am considering buying a Sugar Brown Premium Land Cruiser from another province, but I cannot see the car until picked up. The sales sent me some videos and photos of the vehicle. The car is built in the Tahara plant, and I found a misalignment between the driver's door and the fender. I am wondering if it is normal for the Land Cruiser built in the Tahara plant to have a misalignment like this? And I also wonder how is the alignment of the cars you guys picked up?

You mean the black trim pieces? Looks like they are not misaligned, but the one on the front is a narrower piece.

Not the black trim pieces. The line of the shape on the fender doesn't exactully connect the line on the driver's door.
 
I do not know how it is done, but I think it is possible. I suspect they adjust the hinges.
So you mean it is supposed to be good but the dealer adjusted the hinges so the there is a misalignment between the door and fender?

No it probably came like that from the factory, but dealer may fix it.
