Buying a Used Car – do your research!

We spotted an article in the current edition of Reader’s Digest about an issue which we had never considered when buying a used car, or repairing a car which had been involved in a collision. It startled us so much that I felt it to be important to share with everyone. The subject is automobile airbags.

The article is online at this link:

It points out that if your airbags deploy during a collision, you should ensure that they are repaired and replaced by a reputable firm.

If you purchase a used vehicle, it should be checked out for proper maintenance and airbag installation.

It never entered my thoughts that this would be an issue . . . . .and I drive quite a number of cars – old and new. I hope and pray that the airbags are properly installed and are working.
