if the situation was that bad with the front end wreck, do some inspection on the parts used to fix the car.
if they're all brand new from the factory and you don't have any problems right now, keep it.
most body shops go extremely cheap though. they'll purchase parts from junk yards to get a higher profit from the insurance check.
bottom line, if you're still happy, keep it. if you don't enjoy driving it, get something else. 3000 miles isn't something that certified next day mail won't fix.
Thanks E,
I know what youre sayin about 3000 miles and the next day mail, but it has been hard convincing my father that the Accord should lie next to sleeping dogs being his 97 Accord Special Edition seems to be doing fine according to him. He seems to think my car will last forever and refuses to hand me ownership. It has been hard.
The front end accident I have my worries....I dont KNOW if this shop used genuine Honda parts to replace what was damaged....I know my whole front lip spoiler needed to be replaced, and one of my rims were damaged, and the whole hood had to be replaced....I have my doubts that a GENUINE Honda OEM under body spoiler was used by this shop to fix the damage....parts dont seem to line up right and there is a "cracking" that is forming at the attachment points.....when I brought this up to the shop, the guy said the replacement skirt kit would "keep doing this" because of the way it has to attach....I dont know if I buy it.....
What about the other issues.....should I get rid of the vehicle because it had a windshield replaced, an alternator replaced, these accidents, the re-painting because of the white paint splashed up on my car, and now, my fog lights indicator isnt lighting up.....
