Should I Consider This??

so i have 2 cobalts in my sites right now.. i REALLY want a white ss/tc or a sport red ss/tc white red seats and lsd. but that seems to be out of the question.. kindof annoying. im not being very patient but im not a patient person ha.. im gonna wait for awhile more before i actually fully jump in and hope that one shows up that ill love but its not looking good. anyway, im curious if anybody knows this cobalt.. its a decent ways away from me and i dont wanna go drive out to see it if it wont be worth my time. im basically asking wat u guys would do. im a little bit blinded by the fact that i want one and i can see myself making a dumb mistake. now, this car has a free carfax and it was in a front end accident which i do NOT like but it was less a $1000 dollar repair and it looks fine in pics anyway. the only thing im pretty worried about is that it has that zzp heatshield looking thing. i see a zzp charge pipe and i dont remembert what CAI intake it had but regardless. i dont wanna car thats been beat to death and is highly modified because half the fun is modding the car urself. another reason im not a huge fan of this 1. the only reason im really considering is because of the rpd, it does have lsd ( i called ), and its white. i dont like that it has black seats, its already modded, the black wheels, no spoiler, retro's, evo mod, etc.. but tell me wat u guys think. im assuming most will say stay away but if it was very well taken care of i may consider..

well. i honestly think id be ok with this car. but im worried about the wingless portion of this 2. i dont want the trunk to have those stupid plugs or anything like that. like ive said its a far drive for me so i wanna pretty much be sure before i make a decision to go up there. im a bit dissapointed that its already modded tho =/. most of the fun is modify the car however the hell you want. i could sell most of the stuff and start over but someone said it was trifecta tuned.. how do you know?
