FRS w/ Prior accident...

Should I pass and wait for a pure one?

Clean title, 2016 oceanic blue FRS. VERY well kept. Drives great. With 37,XXX.. At dealership. BUT, has history of accident.. Cosmetically whatever repair was done is flawless..

Offering to me about 10% less than fair market. No pictures or receipts of repair but cosmetically like new..



Per car fax:

Accident reported
- Vehicle involved in a rear-end collision
- Involving rear impact
with another motor vehicle
- Functional damage reported
- Airbags did not deploy

Concerned about re-saleability and if I am getting it at a fair price given the history..





EDIT:

UPDATE:

I was able to find the repair shop where work was done and they were willing to talk to me about what they did over the phone.:

car was in rear end collision.

Rear bumper, bumper bar, trunk lid, and a body panel were replaced. Painted obviously (really nice pain job, I cannot tell it was done..)

Apparently the rear body panel is something welded on but not really a structural part?

Guy says they didn't see anything that would cause any safety issues or concerns down the road.

Any thoughts FRS internet wizards?
