[QUOTE="Black2010, post: 15683221, member: 126428"] Also, don't stress about it to. If it was repaired right and their wasn't frame damage (I.E. falls under repaired right) then it's no big deal. I know I'm in the minority but I've never understood the qualms about a prior accident on a car. At that point it's just body work and the bigger concerns are mechanical problems. Brings up my pet peeve. Watch people looking at used vehicles for sale. They will spend 90% of their time looking over the body panels and knit things but most wont ever get a car on a lift (used cars especially), check service history, look at the condition of fluids, compression test, etc. Sounds silly but you can learn a lot about the previous owners care by looking at the brake fluid. Most everyone changes oil and a large % will stay on top of their coolant but most seem to overlook the importance of clean/fresh brake fluid. Looking at a car it's pretty common to see fresh oil and coolant and dirty ass brake and power steering fluid. The focus is on the cosmetics and completely over look the mechanicals which is the MAIN thing you need to know about a car. [/QUOTE]
