For price and for how cars "perform" in the market place (speed of sale, and seller's behavior), condition is everthing, pretty much.

If you want a nice clean car with known history, etc., and if you're lucky enough to find one that matches your budget, then I think you should go for it. Note that I said "within your budget". If you don't go for it, remember that the seller is convinced he/she has a "cherry" car and will attempt to hold out for the price they have determined.

I've usually been willing to accept cars with some known flaws. I usually end up finding additional issues after driving them for a bit. Just keep in mind that you may very well find unforseen expenses after buying it, so have the funds available.
