Wanting to buy this Acura rsx.. need opinions
 
Hey everyone, so i am looking into this Acura rsx type S 2005 that i am wanting to buy. Here is some info about it:
- has 74xxx km on it
- pearl white
- been in accident before worth 2 grand, rear bumper, fender and tail lights were replaced.

One of my buddies said that it is going to have alignment problems because of the accident but when i test drove it, it was fine?
What i am confused about it that it was stated as a rebuilt.. but icbc cant write off an accident thats only 2 grand?

It is listed for $9800

How do you know the accident was $2k?

Maybe icbc deemed it a write off, then seller bought it back and fixed it himself for $2k instead?

Maybe there was another accident. Do an icbc search for $15 or w.e

I have been talking to the seller, he told me himself and i got a picture of the damage as well.

If it's actually a rebuilt, there is a 0 chance that it was a $2000 accident to repair. It could be a photo of only part of the damage, it could be a totally different accident, there are so many scenarios that could be. You should not be buying a rebuilt unless you or somebody you trust well knows can really identify what has been replaced and repaired.

If it's rebuilt $9800 is still too much, imo.

Walk away. Take your time and Keep looking.

Don't be enticed by low mileage.

The accident history is seriously conflicting. Either get an ICBC report or get a mechanic friend to inspect. Get it on a lift.

listen to lowside, walk away from it
