Doesn't sound right to me, art. I would check this car very very carefully for signs of repairs to panel damage that the car might have picked up on it's travels. This happened to me on a fleet Mondeo a few years ago, just about every corner had been retouched and sprayed in (badly) due to some kind of delivery problem. Took three trips to a body shop before I was able to let the fleet manager sign for it.
Hope I'm wrong..... good luck anyway!
