I want to buy a used renegade and have found a 2018 longitude with 20,000 miles mileage and extended warranty (5 years/100k). The car has been in an accident and I am concerned about the severity and any invisible damage to internal parts or chassis. Below are the photos of the car, is it a serious accident? How much will the repair cost? What should I pay attention to when inspecting a car?
Well, it's quite a lot of damage. In your place, I wouldn't trust the owner completely. Also, you never know what impact the accident might have on the car. It might've ruined the geometry. Also, the airbags didn't deploy, which tells that something is wrong. I would pass it.
If you still decide to buy it, I'd suggest you get an Accident Lawyer. You never know what will happen and how the damaged car might react to severe conditions.
It is possible to find something with no accident damage for the same price.
