i found on on the internet for $4000US. It had been in accidents before. is it still worth it?


Accidents, plural? They'd need to be minor, and if they were the former owners fault, the car has probably been thrashed. I'd skip it.

Not enough info at all. What kind of Mitsu, options, mileage, how bad was the damage, etc.

I've decided not to buy it... since i can't afford it now... i don't really have a choice. haha

It could possibly have a warped chassis. I don't think the picture shows the complete damage.

i ask the seller to send me a full damage report.. but no reply yet... however, the sell ended and no one bought the car, so maybe he'll put it up again for a lower price :P

Looking carefully at the pic on the bottom left that shows the passenger side and front damage you can see what would appear to be the entire frame warped. The left rear tire is tucked way down while the front right is raised significantly. Then you have the sheered effect over the hood which tells me that some other damages may have been had. The airbags both deployed which average $800-1,200 apiece to put back in with new units (average cost, some are lower, some are higher), A 2000 model RS ought to sell for around the 10k range, maybe less, so yes, this ought to be a salvage issue.

I could be off on the frame thing if it is parked on some really uneven surface... but just going by the pics..
