I would start with running an autocheck and carfax. Check for paint work is the big one for me. Pay a professional inspector to do a pre-purchase inspection, which will check for paint work, brake depth, drive-ability issues, leaks, and frame check.

Price seems low, I would expect some issues, nothing mechanical, more like wheel rash, worn seats, bad tires, poor paint care, door ding....

It's been in a minor accident. Carfax said it hit s curb

thats actually fair market value. Incredibly fair, I think they're just trying to get rid of the car because of the accident. You need to get it inspected, properly!

The curb accident could be causing the alignment issue. I would have a professional body shop check it out. Personally, I would not buy it.

If it hit the carfax, it must have been bad enough that it was reported to insurance. I would stay away from it

um, no, trade in value for a 2015 with ~30K miles is between $40,830 - $43,555; private party or dealer pricing is $40,666 - $46,953, with typical pricing of $44,000

This is well below fair market, and likely because of the accident. There are currently 31 RC 350s listed around me for $31,500 - $36,900 and 14 RCF's for $46K - $53K, There is 1 RCF listed under $40K ($39,995) with 56,000 miles and it also lists "accident" in the ad and on Carfax.

Price is slightly below market for a clean car, but probably priced correctly given the accident. I wouldn't purchase without knowing the details of the accident. If it still pulls after the repairs were made, there could be an expensive suspension problem, is it a dealer or private party?

FrankJ

Dealer. It was sold certified after the accident lol....im having it inspected again....

Sold certified after an accident, but the dealership did not correct, or notice, the pull to the right?
Hope the same people are not inspecting it again!

Greater Phoenix area, if you search autotrader you can find the car he is referring to.

@FrankJ I assume this is the car in question?

Did you ever hear back on the suspension issue? It is the lowest priced RCF I've seen locally, I'd love any info you have on the car. Thanks.
