Default Would Like Your Thoughts On Buying A 2016 S4 That Has Been In Accident And Repaired

I found a sepang blue 2016 S4 with about 55K miles that was rear ended and repaired according to Carfax. It has all the options I want and if it was not wrecked I probably would have already bought it. It had one previous owner. It is being sold my a third party used car lot and has been on the lot for at least six months.

1. What are your thoughts on buying a repaired car?
2. If you have sold or tried to sell a repaired car, particularly an S4, what was your experience?

What was the scope of the repairs? Cost? Photos?

I would dive into the extent of the crash details as already mentioned! Did the damage include the frame and/or suspension parts?

Also get the car on the road as you follow behind looking for the body or wheels that appear to be out of line with the direction the car is travelling, you know, the car looks like it's pointing slightly to the left or right as is goes down the road.

What happens when the steering wheel is released?
