We had a deal in place to buy a 2003 S with very low miles and a loving owner. Just before hitting the road to pick her up, owner called and said car was hit. Deal off. Update: owner has offered to have the car fixed AND also knock $1k off the price (price was already very reasonable for this car). This appears to be surface damage, and I know it will go on the car's record, but I would like opinions about this type of damage and how "fixable" it is. The car has a clean AutoCheck record except for this incident. We are thinking of accepting this offer pending an inspection after the damage is fixed.
