Looking to upgrade to a bit of a newer vehicle but reluctant to spend too much with the economic times we are in and having a young family.

Looked online at a variety of places throughout Calgary and area and found near my work a place called Diamond Auto Group. On 42nd avenue off of Blackfoot, so I walked their during lunch. Seemed like okay guys, and have some decent deals for example an almost new Ford with low km which would probably be close to $40,000 elsewhere going for $24,0000 range. There has to be catch I thought and there was, it had been in an accident. Diamond Auto fixes and then sells.

Any thoughts on this from experience would be greatly appreciated. Also anyone used Diamond Auto Group? There is minimal reviews on them online, reluctant to use any non dealers as they are not a big name dealer such as Ford, Dodge, Toyota etc.
