Default 2010 Ford Fusion SEL

I can buy a 2010 Fusion SEL for $12,000. It has 4,200 miles on it. Its been in an accident and the drivers side door and rear drivers door have been hit. Everything has been fixed and replaced. I think this is a good deal and I might buy it. Anything else that could of been affected during impact? Should I buy this?

It sounds good on paper, but personally i'd be skeptical. Is this through a dealer or private seller?

Private seller. I went to go test drive the car and it rides very nice and is quiet.

idk i would nesecarily walk away from it. check for bondo u tap on the metal is makes a different sound. check the door hinges and the pillar in between the 2 doors. check the gap around the doors. check car faqs. idk if everything looks decent id go for it. just be sure you know what your looking for when u are looking.

doesnt seem like a bad deal at all. some of the '10's with the auto 6 speed have had problems with the pcm calibrations which burn up some of the clutches/seals in the trans, but with only 4200 miles it shouldn't be an issue and all the tranny issues will be covered under the cars warranty. if it drives straight and you cant see any evidence of an accident and it's still got a clear title i'd go for it.

The guy that is selling it to me says that he buys wrecked cars from insurance companies and fixes them at his house. He told me he put two brand new doors on it. Even for a car thats been in an accident, I still think it's a good deal. He said he'll give me a three month warranty as well. I have the vin number but I really don't want to pay 40 bucks to check its history. But I think I will.

I can check it thru ford's database to see any warranty claims and whatnot.
