A used car with a crash in its history can look like a bargain until one overlooked repair turns into a very expensive problem. The accident itself matters, but the quality of the repair, the title history, and the car’s current condition matter just as much.
A collision does not instantly make a vehicle a bad purchase. Some cars receive careful repairs after relatively minor crashes and return to normal service for years. Others receive rushed bodywork that hides problems underneath shiny paint. The challenge for a buyer involves separating those two situations before money changes hands.
