      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.

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 called the next day to make a appointment to get the airbags fixed. I was told that they WERE NOT going to fix it because I cost to much. 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. They had to have a different dealership fix the airbags, I was told by that dealership that it was $800.00 plus their labor charges.

    However, salvage or not, if insurance companies have a record of SERIOUS DAMAGE (that includes former airbag deployment) then your basic insurance may be significantly higher.
    Have your insurer quote you on any VIN, before paying for the car.

    Usually, with salvaged vehicles, issues arise a year or two down the line.. Most likely, at a minimum, the paint will start peeling, then electical, mechanical and suspension problems are sure to come. As always, I hope I'm wrong on this one
