[s-cars] Ever heard of this? Lower control arm "snapping" - follow-on thought

[CyberPoet]

Dave,

    one other thought/question: did you do a VIN check on this car
before you bought it? You may find
that it was very badly damaged in a previous accident... had you known
that, you might have chosen not
to buy that 'particular' one... Remember, just because a dealer is
selling an used vehicle doesn't mean
that the vehicle he/she is selling is reliable (although they would
like you to think that they are):
always check the VIN history before extracting the checkbook.

Best Wishes,
