David B asked:
I am buying a 07 Monte Carlo LT. The man I am buying it from said it is a fun car to drive but he cracked the fender. The fender has been replaced but I’m a little concerned about the car.

How bad of an accident do you need to get into to ***** a fender.
Also Even though it was replaced cars are never the same after they have been in an accident.. Would you still buy this car, or search for another 07 Monte.
Thanks in Advance.

It depends. A cracked fender could have been backing into something pretty hard (or driving into something if it’s the front), it could have been hitting a dog or a deer or other large animal, or it could have been a more serious accident in which everything was basically rebuilt. There’s not really a way to know unless you take it somewhere and have a mechanic check the engine and other parts (oil pan leaking, etc.).
