That's one scary carfax report. Looks like it was more than just 1 accident as well. Run, don't walk. Run!!

Nothing to see here folks, move along......

Can CPO'd cars have a prior history of damage? I thought this was one of the disqualifiers for a car to be certified.

^ yes. Rules say no more than 2 panels painted. If they catch it of course.

The SA didn’t disclose the damage but carfax did and they provide some kind of true frame certification which make me even more nervous. I ran!

If you plan on keeping her for a while check if the insurance company has photos , ask the dealer to compensate for the value of course , but most body shops will maximize an insurance claim and ruin the carfax reports in return hurts the resale but someone people at the time don’t care and some don’t know the body shop is writing max claims for minor issues .... if it’s a great great deal and it checks out structure and repair wise negotiate it ....
