Should I buy this Honda Accord EX 03?

RAGHAV

New member
a friend wants to sell me his 2003 honda accord coupe manual tranny. I test drove the car and it runs very well. Kbb value as well as asking price is 7000$ for that year and mileage. Now I would like to offer him a lower price because:

1. First owner had an accident which lists itself as:

"left front primarily damaged" ; vehicle hit a parked car, which is a medium sized accident. Of course, vehicle was not totaled.

2. 3 year after the first accident, my friend bought it. The 1st owner was in New Jersey, and it was shipped to TN and then to TX, where my friend bought it from.

3. My friend got rear ended twice. Only one shows up on carfax. Both times were minor damages.

4. The first owner put on 50,000 miles on 4 years, in NJ; my friend put in 40,000 miles in 2 years in TX (mainly highway)



Whats a good offer for this car, knowing that it is in really good condition, but has had the above experiences.

There is no frame damage on the car.
