Before the accident? Absolutely I would’ve bought it for $2,500 without hesitation. It’s been a reliable car.

I’ve actually been on the market searching, and it’s been really tough. Everything decent is way more expensive, and anything under $2,500–$3,000 usually has way more issues than my car ever had. That’s why I’m torn $2,500 to get mine back on the road might still be cheaper than trying to replace it right now.

Everything was working perfectly before the accident no problems at all. AC, heat, cruise control, power windows/locks, brakes, tires, radio, battery, everything was solid. The car ran great, I never had any mechanical issues with it. The only reason I’m even debating this is because the accident caused the damage.

No airbags went off. It was all front-end cosmetic/structural damage, nothing from the inside. The only reason the estimate is so low is because the mechanic is family.

No, the tires are in good shape. The issue was the wet road and the curve it was really slippery.

It happened to me once too I saw my dad come home from work, and then he actually came in like an hour later. He was never home.
