Default Car with accident record

Just looking for peoples thoughts on this car.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-...nd-event-check

There was an accident record
LEFT FRONT IMPACT WITH A BRIDGE(Case #:7191531)
AIR BAG DEPLOYED
MODERATE TO SEVERE DAMAGE REPORTED

Just wondering how much this matters to the integrity of the car. And if not is this car worth it?

ill be honest. i dont think id pay 8 grand for a car that had been in a moderate to severe accident with a bridge. that probably says something about who was driving it - unless it was just an awful accident or black ice related. still, not sure about that one

If the Title is clean then It should be fine , I would defiantly use that to your advantage of negotiating a lower price.

I'd take it to a frame specialist to check the integrity of the frame before making a purchase or purchasing price decision. If the seller dosen't agree to let you do so, walk away.

Dude, are you serious? Never by a car with accident history if you ever have any intention of selling down the road. It's one thing if I think you are going to seriously keep it forever, but I wouldn't pay 5k for a Salvaged Title.

Clear title = Salvaged title?


I'm curious what the accident was. Must be why it has a Cobra R hood on it....
