Re:CarFax pleaseeeee
you can do ok with the car if you are any good at body/collision work. you will have a problem getting money from the bank if you have less than perfect credit.
I used to be in a body shop that repaired wrecked autos then sold them, thats why I know.
and the bank will NOT loan you 15K on the car, unless you have perfect credit, as I already mentioned. you gotta think about it, the bank is also buying the car, you are buying it from them, in a sense.
