My husband and I have been looking at this one 2005 Envoy XL. Seems like its in pretty good shape, some minor marks on the side from a dirt road but what has us concerned is the accident report we pulled from carproof (just like carfax but better) It looks like its been in 3 accidents, one a minor one on the back end, another minor one on the driver side front light and a HUGE one on the passenger side. The amount alone for the big one was almost $7000 in damage.
Now I'm thinking maybe the previous owner has bad luck like I do when it comes to accidents, but its still throwing up red flags. Its only had the one owner, local truck, and in the test drive it seemed to drive straight and true. No whinning noises and no air flow into the truck from that passenger side.
From a tech point of view, what should be really be looking at? My husband really knows his way around a vehicle but I'm still worried. If he had more of an idea of what could go wrong or what signs would show a bent frame I think I would feel better...or should we just take our money and run? Its priced out prett good, its got 147kms on it and the price is $13,000cnd.
