Spend Jake's Money.

What's everyone feeling about even bothering to look at cars in accidents? There is always a notion they'll be crappy or have issues. But, a lot of these cars in photos look 100% and I wouldn't be able to tell they were in an accident otherwise.

I'm fine with it, so long as the repairs are done right. My E46 had part of the front bodywork replaced/repaired after the PO hit a truck tire tread on the highway. No airbags deployed, and he got a new bumper and half a cooling system out of it. Whatever.

Anything bad enough to make an airbag deploy would make me really pause as nothing I'm looking to buy is so rare that I can't find a slightly less crashed example elsewhere.
