I'll second this one and add some minor problems can be good in buying a car. Mine still has no air conditioning, but the windows work and I got a much better deal then I would have gotten if the AC actually worked. The reason being most people need AC. If your willing to put up with something minor, it can lower the cost considerably. Just make sure it is something minor. Messed up cup holder? ok. Messed up mirror? Not ok.
I know this advice isn't something to use when picking a car. However, keep it in mind when discussing price. It might help you bargain it down, if it isn't already factored in.
