Default Frame damage

How can frame damage affect a car? I'm looking for a B5 in the NY/NJ/CT area and I found one in Nogaro Blue. Unforunately, it was in an accident and suffered frame damage. If it was offered at the right price, I would CONSIDER buying it.

Default When I bought my car earlier this year there was the exact same one for $3000 less b/c it had been

in an accident and had frame damage. I walked away and spent the extra $3000 for a car with a clean title. It's a personal choice as far as i'm concerned. I'm sure the car would be fine but you will know about the damage and the car fax will show it as well when you go to sell it.

Default overall rigidness of the car... could affect driveability if its uneve...

there are many things... thats why most stay away.. not to mention the title and cf will state it. so itll effect your resale value more than an s4 with out it.

you'd end up spending a lot of $ on numerous alignments and tires wearing prematurely. NOT WORTH IT.
