Default What Would You Pay?

I am looking into this car and found that it has been involved in an accident.

What would you offer the dealership?

They are asking $20,295.

I wouldn't buy a car that has been in an accident either.

You can get one that hasn't been wrecked for the same price. Best of luck.

you shouldn't pay more then 14,000 for that car and the only way i would touch that car is if i didn;t have much $ and really wanted a supercharger.

the asking price is the same as a car w/out the wreck as prev posters have mentioned



just my .02

That's too much for a wrecked S2000. Every time it squeaks and rattles (which it would do even if it wasn't wrecked) you will kick yourself.

Maybe if you could beat them down on price you could come out OK- IF you have someone qualified check it out first, like a really, really good bodyshop. Have them put it up on a lift, inspect the paint, etc. The car dealership guys know what is wrong with the car but there is no way you can trust them, and you will likely have no legal recourse if you get screwed- caveat emptor.
