The Carfax report would show if it has a salvage title, and it does not. It's not likely they would miss that.

I would look for signs the car had been modified and taken back to stock. I would also order a copy of that accident report to see what happened (there's a link to it in the Carfax report). If it looks like this guy took good care of a mostly stock car and just had a fender bender, it may be okay. If it looks like this guy put a turbo on it, went out racing ricers and crashed the car himself, I'd steer clear. Keep in mind also that it looks like he bought the car at that same dealership and likely had it serviced there, so you might be able to find out about the service history and whether they saw it come in with a turbo on it before he traded it in.
