Scions are amazing, but no car is worth getting with any type of damage, unless you know the car personally and know exactly what its been through.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Yeah, I think I avoided a sticky situation. The price was too high and the damage was too much. The best part was it turned out the seller has a lien on the the car! Buyers beware out there! So I'm still looking for my XB - Silver,2006 and automatic. If you have any leads - lemme know!

Well if it helps at all I just got in an accident and I'm replacing the same passenger quarter panel, side rocker, and entire back bumper/lip. The estimate came out to nearly $3000. Just the quarter panel was about $1500 to replace...not fix but actually replace.

Lucky for insurance...

Thanks for the info!
