I wouldn't buy it due to the high miles, but if it floats your boat, go for it.

The right wheel hub is about $90, you'll need a new bearing which is about $50, and you can install it yourself fairly easily. If you get the knuckle off and can't figure it out, a machine shop would charge you around $15-$20 to press the new hub/bearing in.

I'd have someone check out the SRS issue before committing to buy because that problem might end up costly or cheap. If you don't care about the light and your state's vehicle safety inspection is okay with a non-functional SRS system, then I guess you could skip this portion.

tell the dealer to fix the car if they want you to buy it at that price. btw run the vin past ur insurance agent. My agent found 2 accidents for my car that carfax did not report.

SRS is most likely OPDS gone bad

So i bought the car for only 4600. It needed new front brakes and all new tires and front and rear left side hub bearing. The carfax ran up with all schedule maintenance completed at dealer and dealer also installed new tranny 40,000 miles ago. So that what kinda sold me on it. And the **** is CLEAN inside and out!
