I would not buy it or get it checked out really thoroughly. Last thing you want is some frame damage.

*sigh*

yeah. i am super ****, and this accident (big or small) is starting to eat at me too much. not to mention the run around by my bank right now.

possibly in another month or so.....

but at least my wife is on board. i have found patience is the best practice when buying a car, and see'd kill me if i got something unsafe.

thanks all 4 ur opinions. i dig everyone here can wear it on there sleeve.

The price seems close to kbb 'fair' so it sounds like the owner is reasonable. Do you get a good vibe from him? The only thing that concerns me is the intake without a tune... But if you get it inspected and compression is good I'd say 15 or 15.5 is a good price.

dealio is off. when i asked him about the accident he said he totally forgot about it, it was small paint only scratch, but when it happened according to the carfax is where it doesnt line up. he states he bought the car with 14000 miles, the accident was @ 4000. ????. i am thinking there wer actual 2 acidents. i also offered to give him a copy of the carfax for future ref, and he didnt want it.

that and my bank is dragging there feet for some reason.

so the search continues.....

Bummer. I'm sure you'll find a better deal though, there were definitely too many inconsistencies with this whole thing.

No way! if you take your pants off, you get a lower price, everyone knows that.

When buying a car, I go in...walk up to the nearest salesperson...drop my pants....brush their cheek with the back of my hand....and while looking them dead in the eyes say "You know how the game is played."

HA!
