Hi all,

I'm a market for a new/used car and stumble upon this 2010 Lexus GS350 AWD

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac...887953629.html

I ran the CarFax and the vehicle was involved in an accident and the car is originally sold from Stevinson Lexus in Colorado. It stated the airbags deployed according to the report. Report said it was Total Vehicle Loss and the insurance got bought it.. My concern is that the car is stated to have a clean title in California but the current owner said the damage was done on the front left corner of the car. I'm out of the country and I can't test drive the GS myself. I don't have anyone to test drive the car for me to verify. Don't know if I should pass on this car and continue my search...

I know the AWD is an overkill in California but my next assignment is in the North East, and I hear about how much snow can get up there.

I wouldn't buy any car with the airbags deployed before, even if it has been repaired, there's always a concern of other components going bad. I would just keep searching

Thanks for the consideration, I'll keep searching for a good deal.

Ya agree with Mikeyy, wouldnt buy anything with airbags deployed.

Keep searching. Title is probably clean UNTIL you transfer it to your name and it becomes Salvage. Dont deal with this nightmare.

I would look else where. It's not even that good of a deal considering the 4GS is out.

Id pass on it just because it has that bunk looking "Stevenson" logo on the trunk, let alone the airbag problem...
