10 yrs is a while ago, but the important question is how many miles since the "incident"? And how many owners since the incident? That is more useful info.

An 03 is 15 yrs old. Stuff happens to cars that are driven. Yes, there are pristine examples out there but there are also examples that have some nicks. Of course they're going to tell you it was minor. If an inspections shows replacement inner construction panels welded in, then it wasn't minor. At that point you should walk away since you don't know what other lies are lurking.

And the final point - the money you save at purchase of a damage repaired car is the money you lose when you sell it.
