stanjk3 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 $12990 63,198 milesCarfax says it was involved in a crash on 12/25/2004Accident reported in Camden CountyInvolving right front impactIt hit another motor vehicleRight front primarily damaged Vehicle towed Next entry is a month later at 2,942 miles, oil change and inspection. Anything I should look for? Or is it pretty safe to assume it wasn't that bad of accident if it was serviced that soon afterwards. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=u&car_id=257166391&dealer_id=97103&car_year=2005&rdm=1234484918464&model=LEGACY&num_records=25&systime=&make2=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&start_year=2005&keywordsfyc=&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&keywordsrep=&engine=&certified=&body_code=0&fuel=&awsp=false&search_type=both&distance=100&marketZipError=false&search_lang=en&showZipError=n&make=SUB&keywords_display=&color=&page_location=findacar%3A%3Aispsearchform&min_price=&drive=&default_sort=priceDESC&seller_type=b&max_mileage=&style_flag=1&sort_type=priceDESC&address=19341&advanced=y&end_year=2010&doors=&transmission=Automatic&max_price=13000&cardist=24&standard=false Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer.

MOMSWGN Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Don't assume anything, have it inspected. Would not pay over 10K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Don't assume anything, have it inspected. Would not pay over 10K. It's at a dealer, not a private seller. How would you go about doing that? Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caschmidt Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I honestly wouldnt get it if it was in a crash. even if ti "wasnt bad" there could still be permanent frame damage.. Just my 2¢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenc544 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ouch, accident on X'mas day. Just call the dealer up and ask them to let you take the car to get it inspected. They will probably ask you to leave your car and a copy of driver's license or something. It shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05GT Guru Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yeah, i agree. Some small time dealers dont like people having there cars inspected. If this is one of then tell them to go to hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach_six Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would ask the dealership about the car's history and ask if it has been involved in any accidents...see if they are lying. If they will not disclose the accident then don't bother with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yeah, i agree. Some small time dealers dont like people having there cars inspected. If this is one of then tell them to go to hell. They sell Ford, Hyundai and Mazda, so they probably aren't a small time dealer. I'm don't know of any places near them where I could have the car inspected. Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 I honestly wouldnt get it if it was in a crash. even if ti "wasnt bad" there could still be permanent frame damage.. Just my 2¢ I'm thinking if it had been bad enough to cause frame damage, it would have taken longer to repair. Well that's been my experience. Both minor fender benders I had in my '00 Grand Am took 8-10 weeks to get repaired. Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Bought the car, big upgrade from the '95 Legacy. Tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season grip feels pretty good but they are fairly noisy. Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zcarmob Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Congrats on the new car. A few months after I got my car I was at the begin of an on-ramp there is a yield and the pickup truck in front of me stopped dead and waited for the traffic from the traffic light to get going and pass by. Well I glanced over and didn't see him the truck had pulled halfway off the road and the rearview mirror blocked the view. When the traffic cleared I gave it gas then crunch. The bump of the truck was right at the top of the headlight. I took out the headlight and pushed the fender back about a foot. It also bent the hood and pushed the inner fender against the tire. The car was able to run and move. I had to move up the on ramp and the inner fender made lots of noise. The damage was mostly above the top of the tire so it didn't bend the frame, it was mostly sheet metal and cosmetic damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjk3 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 edit: nevermind, found some used key fobs for $17 on ebay. Still working on the 2nd key. No good pics yet as it snowed Sat night, car is still dirty. Hopefully it will be warm enough on the weekend to wash it. Friends don't let friends drink cheap beer.
