I am buying a 2000 RX300 for $19,000, but the Check Engine Light is on and there is a sound when braking hard (Sound comes upon vehicle stopped). Car has 47K miles. There were 2 owners. According to Carfax there was a left rear end accident back in 2000. Should be of concern of any frame damage? Check engine light could be anything, but would this cost more than 1K to fix? About the brakes, the owner said that he had replaced the brakes with an aftermarket pads, and from an independent mechanic. Is this a good deal and I'm just being too cautious about it? Need advice please.
