its not a bad deal.
Most likely this car was in a accident years ago and repaired wrong, IF I do buy it, would be gone over, myself being a Paramedic I would not put anyone in a dangerous car, its no different then repairing a wrecked car, I have excess to a body shop, a frame is only metal

You would be surprised on how many reconditioned cars are on the highway

Several people at work have them and not a single one is happy with their car
