Buying a car with hail damage

Asked by Guru72YMQ Jun 26, 2020 at 01:16 AM about the 2009 Honda Accord EX-L V6

Question type: General

Just looking for opinions
I’m getting a first car for my son - a “cash
car”.  In the price range we are looking
nothing is perfect of course.  I did find a 2009
Honda Accord that is in pretty decent shape
but has some hail damage.  Not terrible
damage but some.

Just looking for opinions on if this is a
mistake.

On an older model such as this I'd say it's worth a look! It doesn't take much for the insurance company to total an older model. If it's in otherwise good condition and doesn't look like a meteor fell on it you'll probably be getting a good first car for your Son. But remember when it comes time to sell or trade it in you won't get as much for it, especially if it has a "salvage title" history. Hope that helps! Jim
