Even the best carpainters and panelbeaters can't hide major damage. This should be enough to put you off. Go have a really thorough look, and I mean take out the carpet from the boot, take out the spare wheel, you will see signs of damage repair, do the same underneath the car, and have a good look around the engine bay and in behind the bumper. Bet you will see signs of damage as well.

When I went to trade it in, the sh#t hit the fan. I had one hell of a time getting a decent deal once the infamous CarFax report would come back on it.
I believe the biggest factor on whether damage is reported to CarFax is the insurance company you are dealing with.

It's been known on the internet in forums for a long time. Maybe you should try and search.

But, I do not need to search to find info I know 1st hand to be true.
I think you should ditch the wrecked Z and talk to this guy
