I don't hold that opinion anymore obviously. It all depends on the damage and how it was repaired. I would not buy a car where the extent of the damage isn't being disclosed/etc. Cars with minor damage are so easy to repair CORRECTLY that it's kind of silly to just ignore them out of hand IMO.

The exact same statements can be applied to the high mileage well used cars though. Mileage is not a good indication of condition. If it is easy to fix damaged cars it is just as easy to replace worn parts.
For the record I have no objection to a well done rebuild either but in the order of value it really is the worst option for many people.
