If you are buying for your daughter, as a father myself, I would be more concerned about getting her the best car that would give her the most reliability for the money. I don't know what pricing is in Europe, but if that €36k can buy something else, perhaps even a brand new compact hatch that she will have a new car warranty on, I would do that before buying a repaired Mustang.

I think the car didn't have any kind of bad welding... anyway I'll put it in car fox, everything will appear there, right?

the car was bought with the damage repaired and after a year the new owner had a guardrail damage and wanted to have it repaired at the Ford dealer. The Ford dealer started repairing until......

I really don't understand why you have bought an unknown repair damaged car (for your daughter no less) and then want advice about whether you should have bought it? All a bit late really. What is really odd is that you can get a straight Ecoboost car in Spain for similar money.

You have made your choice and paid your money - good luck

How does a crashed car from Texas end up in Spain?
Obviously by a boat, but why???

I asked this question a while back - here was the responses. I only asked it because I could not figure out why so many S550 wrecks were being purchased for overseas export....

I also can't seem to figure out why crash replacement parts are so abundantly available overseas to repair such wrecks - than it is to do it here... Meaning, how is it more profitable overseas than the U.S. or Canada to do the same?

Holy heck - look at that unsafe and poor repair! Where is that from?? Any more details or images of that S550?

This story is bananas.

you would have to disassemble the car to see how and what was repaired

No - not everything appears in any CarFax or similar VIN reports. Crash damage will only appear if there is a reported instance of such an event... Insurance or Police instances sometimes roll up to those VIN reports, sometimes they do not. Sometimes the data is also delayed as to when the event happened and when the data actually hits the report. So an unsuspecting buyer looks up a VIN, it appears good and it's very possible they could have bought a wrecked vehicle where the damage had not hit the VIN reporting agency database yet...

Do not and never rely on CarFax or similar VIN reports 100% for accuracy.

You can ask your local Ford Dealer to run the VIN through ETIS (the OASIS equivalent). That will show any Ford Dealer repairs whether it's warranty or non-warranty It will aid show any other pertinent details such as warranty start date, any recalls, etc etc.

I am going to buy the car for my daughter, the seller told me that it has not had engine problems, it only had a small bump on the bumper, it has 47k KM

I bought the car completely repaired, the car was bought at a coper auction, it is from 2019 and the car was repaired in Spain, registered, and approved in Spain, it costs €36k

Given those things I think you paid quite a bit too much for that vehicle. Good luck

friend keep in mind that it is approved painted repaired and the shelby package and brought to Spain by ship that is a lot of money I think it is a reasonable price
