My most recent car I bought at about a year old with 15k miles. It turns out it had previously been in a massive front end collision and the dealership described it as a "fender bender". The bumper and plastic under the engine starting falling off, parts started falling off that were clearly just glued on with gorilla glue, closer inspection in the engine bay showed a ton of bent metal structure, the paint color on the front of the car started to clearly not match the rest of the car after it had been exposed to sun for a year, the alternator died after a year and after removal it was clearly a really cheap non-OEM replacement. This was all from a reputable Toyota dealership in a major city.
Not sure I want to go through this process again and may just buy new in the future.
