Look until you find evidence of where the chassis was repaired. If you don't find any damage, keep looking because I assure you that it is there.

Someone bought that car, spent a lot of time and money to make it saleable, and still needs to make a profit at that price. I assure you that they took whatever shortcuts they think they can get away with.

The other thing to consider with rebuilds is the effects of a front or rear end collision on the entire drivetrain. Shoving the front or rear of the car into the other end puts a chain reaction down the middle of the engine, gearbox and rear end. Parts that were never designed to take an impact in that direction.

Are you planning to finance? Check with the bank and the insurance company first. Their adversity to risk might be something you want to emulate.
