Default 911 Black edition

Currently looking at a CPO 2016 911 black edition with 20k miles and asking price is 80k but noticed that Carfax reported a minor accident in 2017 but is a CPO from a Porsche dealership should I entertain the idea of grabbing this vehicle or keep looking.

I wouldn't be worried about it. Contrary to what some people might say, cars are repairable.

If it has what you want at the price you want to pay, then go for it. Otherwise, keep looking. We cannot decide for you.

Default Depends who you trust

If there were pictures of the damage and you knew who did the repair that would reduce risk. Front or back is an instant no for me. Are you a risk taker with 100k (if so good on you for having vast resources) ?

As @asellus said, cars are repairable. A car that has had an accident will be harder to sell and should be priced accordingly. Small $$ repair, small discount. As the repair cost goes up, so too does the price come down. Is it fair? No.

Honestly, if looking at a 911 with under $10K damage, it would likely be very minor. Cost to repair adds up extremely quickly.

The accident was 6-7 years ago. If an issue was going to surface, the odds are it would have by now.
