Hi There, I am planning to buy the corolla GLX 2015 model but this car re-registered in NZ because of accidental history but the seller said it's a minor accident and he has all the repaired documents and this car only have done 15000 kilometers so far. what is your advice is it ok to buy an accidental history car?
Thanks

Hi there,
The process to get a de-registered vehicle back on the road in NZ is pretty strict and requires specialist repair certification and they would oversee the process followed to restore the vehicle back as close to manufacturers tolerance as possible. As long as you are aware of nature of the vehicle history, the price reflects this history, and you have an independent inspection carried out- you could get a vehicle a bit newer than you could normally afford.
