Daughter looking at 2017 Lexus IS2017T 36k automatic.
Used car dealer 'SC MOTORS" Placentia, Ca.
Minor? Single-vehicle accident, left front end, involved frame repair.
$22k OTD
Considering the accident only occurred just last year.
I would not consider buying this vehicle without some
kind of drive-train warranty included 20-40k.
I appreciate all opinions, for both of our, edification.
Thanks to all.
I would pass on it since it’s been in an accident. Who knows what else had been impacted (as part of collateral damage) - also will impact resale value in the future. I would just keep looking.
frame damage = no buy for me
I would usually say have a mechanic check it out, but in this case, electrical and mechanical issues are resulted from these accidents but the effects aren't seen until many years, so even if it is in good shape now, you might experience problems later.
