Photoshop - quick edit help request

I'm helping another member post pics in the "For Sale" area. He sent me this pic below, which needs some substantial exposure corrections. Can someone balance this in Photoshop for me please?

Here's a link to the original photo (3.5mb):

Kindly edit and email to me at: davefra AT hotmail.com

Many thanks for your assistance.

Just tell him to get off his *** and take another photo? A Photoshop on this might take an hour or three to look decent ... if that can happen, and if it was me, I'd charge $200 per hour to do it ...

LOL, c'mon man, this is about the easiest fix there is! Select the light area and darken it a bit. End of story...........

Not looking for a magazine-ready edit!

I sent one

Do not know if it was exactly what you are looking for.

I only had a few minutes at work to knock it out.

Sent it to the hotmail address listed.

OK, I did the best I could, not sure if it came out as you would have liked it though...

I'm no great expert but I did some quick adjustments to the image and it didn't make a huge improvement. There's just too much variation...you can improve the car somewhat but the background remains too bright and washed out (in relation to the subject matter). Short of investing more editing time I think your best option is to take another photo with more consistent lighting conditions.
