Looks like it's this one. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...e&rdpage=thumb

Looking at the carfax, it's tough to tell if the car sat for 3 years and moved 500 miles total in that time or if the owner did some behind the scenes stuff to it. The pictures look good so I guess, it's worthwhile to go down there and check her out.

I would find another car. Being patient and finding a car that is accident free is well worth it in the end. As others have said, you'll avoid having to talk around them when reselling (if you do) and you don't want to inherit other peoples problems.

The last thing I will say (or rather ask) is. Were the accidents in title wash states? Might explain the lack of being totalled.

I have been on the hunt hardcore. I saw this one too. I passed on this one because of the unknowns. We know it has been in two accidents, but don't know how severe. Also, the low miles do lead me to believe it was in bad shape and sat for awhile. You never know, but like I said, the unknowns.

Steer clear and you will be much happier when you find the car you truly want!

FWIW, my car kissed a guardrail to the tune of ~$14K. All cosmetic. It was fixed with all OEM parts and painted for a factory match (even the orange peel). This being said, if I were buying used, I'd look for a car with no accidents.
