Same thing for me - bought my kid a '98 Accord EX from an elderly couple. Garaged, clean as a whistle w/ low miles,. fully loaded. She rear ended someone and insurance totaled it. I almost cried. Didn't find out until afterward that I could have kept it and had it fixed myself. That was 6 years ago and it still pains me.

Wouldn’t have put a used airbag if he was that honest!

[@grizzlygrizzle]

The only problem I have with used airbags concerns cars that get totaled before having an airbag-recall replacement done. If it were my car that needed an airbag, I would get a used one, but I would make sure I had the VIN of the car it came out of, and I'd check with airbag-recall database to see if that car had the replacement done. Other than that, I'd have no problem with it.

I do keep my cars a long time. I still have my 1972 Chevelle I had in high school long time ago. I also have an old one owner Saturn SL1 series made in Spring Hill Tennessee. Pretty base car. No Electric windows, manual crank windows. Someone was going to buy it but she didn't want manual windows so I got the car and I definitely wanted manual windows. I just keep my cars, but I also maintain them. Never abuse them as I'm good to them then they're good back. That why I almost bought a salvaged fixed automobile because hell, when I'm done with any car, trust me they're all done with anyway.

I spoke to 2 different attorneys and told the car dealership what I was told and THE DEALERSHIP GLADLY FIXED THE AIRBAGS AT NO COST TO ME.
