I'd rather deal with a rear end damaged car, rather than front end.
Potentially front end can cause the car to drift left or right when you lighten up on the steering wheel or it can also eat through expensive tires because the work wasn't done correctly. . . and in my experience it never is.
I'd drop back a year or two and look for a similar car (no accidents) to pop up.
These cars lose 25% of their value in the first year. Mine was a $60,000 MSRP yet a year later I paid $45,000 certified used with like 4 years left on the warranty plus 100k on the drive train.
My daughter just bought a 2014 toyota sienna minivan last week from a toyota dealer. It had a clean carfax.
But the previous owner left his maintenance records in the glove box.
So much for toyota's certified used 160 point check list they performed, they never even bothered to open the glove box or they would have removed that paperwork. This is what works on our cars
There was a repair record for $2,600 in body and parts repairs and it looks like the sliding side door was involved and since it was not on the carfax, it was probably done at some schlock shop
Trust "no one" especially when you are dealing with someone selling you a used car. If the dealer would have found that paperwork, do you think they would have made her aware that it was in an accident???
They would burn what ever they found.
