allow me to share a similar saga.

i bought my 99gt (auto) hatch a year ago, 95,300 miles, for $7,000. ironically it was a 3 owner car as well. dealer had free carfax, which said one accident, but no airbag deployment. told the dealer i was going to take it to a mechanic before buying, so on my test drive i did, and got a "used car check" done. told me i had to do the timing belt and the engine probably needed a tune up and a bunch of little things, but there was no frame damage or anything really bad. tried to get info on the accident from the sherif's office, but no luck. bought it, imediately put $1600 into the timing belt and averything else.

overall i don't think i got the best deal in the world, but a few weeks ago i was driving out of my neighborhood and a kid waved to me, so i slowed down to wave back, and say "what's up"...he said "not much. cool car."
