Hey everyone

I am currently on the fence in purchasing a used 07 MS3. Everything feels alright, tight and no weird sounds. Although, Carproof shows a $3500 claim for "Collision: front centre".

Should I steer clear, or $3500 is a minor damage?

Thanks in advance!

$3500 is minor damage... If you like it and a good price I would buy it

I'd stay away from any 07 MS3 as there's plenty of history on them (search the forum and google). I'd suggest something a little newer if you're still considering a MS3.

Mine had $3k of damage and just needed the front bumper, one headlight, one rim and tire replaced. $3500 isn't much damage at all.

Wow, that's crazy... Imagine how much these cars would cost if you were to buy them part by part.

I know...and my aftermarket rim/tire they replaced is actually cheaper than the stock rim/tire, haha.
