I am looking to buy this vehicle and stated on auto check everything checks out except the vehicle was in 1 accident. The dealer stated that to me. It was the front bumper that was replaced. Should that be an area of concern? I am taking it to a 3rd party mechanic to check vehicle. Also I noted that car had a heavy gas smell?
what could it be? And do you think it is worth buy for $7200

If only the bumper was damaged, you should be fine. However, you should have it checked by your personal mechanic. As far as the fuel smell, it could be a leak, so mention that to your mechanic.

As far as the price, I can't tell you what it is worth without being there. This type of vehicle can be a high maintenance vehicle and repairs can be expensive.

Always remember the old saying, "Buyer Beware."
