Used car Warning

I owned a 1993 Ford Thunderbird and I wrecked it in Febuary of this year. The car was totaled because it was hit from the rear and the frame was damaged. The front end was dented up pretty badly too. The car still ran however the CV joints were crap and the engine idled badly and the spark plugs knocked. Now I got a Carfax membership in order to check out new cars and I still had the VIN # to my Thunderbird and was interested to see what happened to it. When I wrecked the car it had almost 154,000 miles on it (rebuilt engine also). So the mileage that was registered by the car's new owner was around 120,000. The warning is pay attention to what you are gettin yourself into and try not to buy a lemon. If you live in NC and come across a 93 Blue Thunderbird for sale... check it out first. It might have been totaled.
