Default wondering if this was a good deal for a s2000?

Think about buying it for 22,300 it has been hit in the rear, but has since been fixed. It has about 17,000 miles on it plus there is still a 1 year warranty left on the car. Just wanted to get some input before buying something for that much. Any comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I would bring it to a body shop of your choice and have it thoroughly checked out.

Were I buying another car, I would never buy a car that had been in an accident. But I am, of course, biased. You can do better - and I don't mean with mine, necessarily. It's a buyer's market, currently. Find one in good shape with all records and no questionable history. Better for you now, and better if you ever want to sell it.

I would never buy anything that has been in accident, you dont know how hard it was, and if there was frame damage. Like stedge said, you can definately do better...

like other said, buying anything that got in accident before is not a good idea.

I personally think even $22,300 is too much for a S2000 that has accident history, you should be able to find a better deal than this.
