Default Ready to toss my $9k for a 06 RSX premium, BUT.....

The carproof shows the car has been rear ended
Damage was about $7900 ( $3400 parts + $ 4500 labour )
It has been repaired through a provincial approved collision body shop
but when I skim through the repair list, and saw metal parts has been replaced which is of my concern:

66100-S6M-A00ZZ - Panel RR $210.88
Assembly Part #15



04654-S6M-A00ZZ - Frame B Set, Left Rear $50.65
Part #2


I am under the impression that there is rear frame damage? as frame B set was replaced
Anyhow, the engine was in great shape; seller kept all the original & maintenance receipts from Acura Service Dealership

Please advise before tossing my $9k into the 72k kilometer rsx premium
very appreciate for all comments / opinions

You can buy a clean never hit car for that price and I've even seen a Type-S or two go for that. I wouldn't waste 9K on a repair BASE model

You can easily find a Type S for 9k, and trust me, there's a huge difference from base model and type s, just be patient

I agree, keep looking. I got my '02 Type S for just under $6K. A damaged base model isn't worth it.

That's a lot for a non Type S. Why not just wait til you find one w/ a clean history so you don't have to be concerned.
