Pretty low mileage but with 3 accidents reported. Is this a good deal? Or should I keep looking?

 

Three accidents? I would hard-pass on that. I mean, one like a minor fender bender is probably okay. Three? No way.

 

It is really not that simple of a question to answer. What is your purpose in the car? To mod it and track it, daily it, just a weekend car? All these questions and more come in to play here. To answer one of the questions. If you are looking to mod it and track it. Then sure it won't matter much how many accidents you have cause you may likely get a few more at the track. The other questions you gotta answer. But, I would stay away unless you planned on racing the car.

 

It would definitely be hard to pull the trigger. It has low miles but you would be the 3rd owner with less then 50k. Sometimes low miles can be a bad thing . Or it could have just been a 2nd car that they just didn't drive often tough to say. the accidents would be more of a concern for me. The price is good tho if it past a PI and your comfortable with it why not .

 

Easy choice if I were looking....

Pass

 

Definitely 3 accidents 2 was minor because it didn’t get towed but when it was hit from the rear quarter panel it was towed and not driveable, that’s why it has gotten towed . Car definitely was at the dealership a lot for routine maintenance that’s only plus I see . You’ll have to drive and see the car in person to ask yourself if your willing to take the car as is and pay asking price or tell them there’s 3 accidents and go to the negotiating table . there’s more then one isf for sale . Hope you find the right one . Check the Lexus vehicle classifieds too if u didn’t .

 

Thats a hard pass. I would wait for the right one if you have time, there seems to be more ISF's coming for sale every week as other people move on to other cars.

 

Rear quarter damage is a clear no no. Those repairs are much more likely to rust, as they are often cut out with a patch welded in. Any welds on a car after it has left the factory do not receive rust protection via galvanizing. If the quarter panel has been replaced on a car, I won’t touch it living in Indiana.
