When you had it checked out what did the body shop/inspection of frame tell you
lol i got lucky, i ran a history report on it and the claim was only $9800 that happened in 2004 when the car was still pretty much new, minus some small glass claim that happened in 2010 and 2012. The guy selling didn't have a clue, never ran a report and just went by what the previous owner told him or w.e he was told. Obvsly i didnt bring this up when i bought the car.

Either way, i got the body shop to strip the entire front end off and check for any welds or any awkward fixes. Headlights, bumper, rad support, fans, all came off and was inspected. I was willing to compensate the owner pretty decent for his time if i didn't end up buying the car. Everything checked out fine, 1year and 2 months of ownership, nothing wrong with the car
