i think i would... i dont see that being a problem. what i am saying is this car is half the price of a non accidented one... not bad. dont worry John i wont really buy this i am just wondering if it's worth looking into these kind of car.

Well if you do it right they can be good purchases, but if you do it wrong they can be horrible money pits and drive you crazy.

No, I would never buy a car that's been in an accident or stolen. I drive too much and am too anal/paranoid to take the chance.

I would but be very careful. Have a body guy take a look at it 1st. I would also never buy a car that has been rolled. Definitely consult a body guy before you get one. I would not buy it sight unseen though for sure
