I am also hesitant because the car has most likely had been disassembled in the interior, body panels like the trunk and hood removed to have the PDR done, which concerns me. I have spoken to their staff and there is not much they can tell me as far as the extent of what was actually repaired.



I agree with you on that. It is really difficult for me to purchase this sight unseen. However, the price seems to be in line given the circumstances.
If the price makes up for the damage in your own mind then buy it. It is cheaper for a reason and if the cost reduction is below the price of a future paint job then you are still ahead.

If it is going to nag at you for the rest of ownership and you are going to go over it with a magnifying glass every day to see if cracks have developed then don't do it. it will haunt you and before long you will start to hate the car and find that every little issue will be magnified in your mind.
