has anyone bought an s4 from the original owner but it was in an accident..is it a good idea and if u do how does it run??
THANKS

 

just found out it was hit in the rear

 

That Sucks!

 

I wouldn't buy a damaged car, especially one with frame damage.

 

Depends on how damaged it is. Mine was a wreck when I bought it, but was a stage 3-. And I got the car did the body work and sold off some parts and upgraded and I only have about 13k into mine. Just have to find the right car and know what you are looking at. Frame damage is bad and rear hits mean cutting and welding quarter panels in. Not too hard to do. If you get it and need parts let me know I have a front hit b5 that I'm parting out.

 

Guy i know boughta salvage S4 nogaro w/ sports (but white leather) and its one of the fastes cars in town now. Personally i wouldnt, but some people dont care...its up to you as long as you can fix it.

 

the car has been fixed already im just wondering how the affect of the performance and driving smoothness would be

 

OMG, my car came with some rock chips, it's never going to run right or be the same!!!!!![]

Come on, every accident will have different things that happen. There is no way what happened to my car will be the same with your car.

I would have no problems with a car that had been in a minor accident, if it was fixed properly. Really if it affected the motor, & you are worried about it, then it wasn't a minor accident.

An accident can be as minor as a shopping car running in the car, with a small dent & broken tail light, to a head on with frame damage & whole new front end.

 

Booh to the seller for not fully disclosing all pertinent facts ie. accidents about the car. Do you notice anything with the ride or handling, or are you just curious?

 

I would take it up with the seller if possible. If it has already been fixed then you tell us how it drives, rides and hadles. Also include some pics as to how you knew it was in an accident.
