Buying a c6 thats had airbags deployed?
I found the vette I've been looking for in the right color with automatic and everything but the airbags have been deployed. Carfax says minor damage reported but airbags deployed. How much does this hurt the resale and have you guys ever heard of minor damage but airbags deploying? It's an 08.

Please don't buy this vehicle. I purchased an 09 Tahoe LT that the airbags had deployed. I didn't know of this until after the fact. I lost my a$$ on that vehicle.
That vette will do nothing but lose value. There are others out there, I promise.

My advice ?
Run like hell. You stand to lose your a$$, my friend. An experienced car salesman friend of mine refers to these "tainted" Car Faxes as "the kiss of death !!"
Take your time and find the RIGHT car, or if you MUST buy this thing, plan on throwing $20K "out the window" and keeping the car virtually forever !!

For just a track car, you might be able to get a low enough price to make it worthwhile.
Maybe.
For a normal street car, forget it.
