Hell no. The guy doesn't even say what year it is. I wouldn't even think about it unless I had the invoice from the repair shop that fixed it after it was hit, and the original estimate of repairs from the insurance company. Then, I would make the seller make sure it passes smog. Then, I still probably wouldn't do it.

Just found out its a MY00. Soft top is super torn, pass fender is ruined from the previous tire, and no paperwork of the damage.

Well, with my nice little tax refund I am able to begin searching for a car sooner than expected. I found an 05 with 74000 miles on it for 15500 that I'm going to look at on Thursday. It is completely stock and has been owned by the person for a year. I have looked at the forum post about looking at used cars, any thoughts otherwise?
