Default 07 Magnetic Black Z

So a couple months ago i bought a 07 350z with 47500 miles from a local dealership for $13,500. I fell in love with the car from the first test drive, but i'm wondering what you guys think about my situation, the car was in a small curb crash, before i bought it, where the fender bent, headlight was scraped and one tab broke, and new bumper was needed, also the radiator support has a pretty good size crack. everything but the radiator support was fixed but the bondo on the fender is cracking, the headlight is ill fitting, and the carfax says it has a clean title but has frame damage but ive inspected the whole front end and it has no frame damage at all, is it that they mean the plastic radiator support as frame damage? thanks any advice or thoughts are appreciated.

'07 for $13.5?! Are you sure it isn't a salvage title? Even a Base model's suggested retail value is around $19k+. Sounds like the dealership didn't tell you something or sufficient research wasn't done. Post CarFax report.

im positive it is clean title i got a carfax from the dealership and also privately got an autocheck on my own. i printed out the autocheck carfax about a month ago not sure how to post it up, i could just take pics in a lil bit. but they had it up for 15k but i made them lower the price even more
i picked it up because of the price and just planned on fixing the little thngs it has wrong.

Does the carfax annotate that the car has been in an accident? The frame may be tweaked and invisible to the naked eye. Frame damage is tricky. I dont believe (opinion) that you can ever bend a frame back to OEM spec, even if you're using the most sophisticated equipment. Either way, if the title is clean, you got a damn good deal my friend.

I checked the carfax and it says that "No accident record reported by accident data services" so never been in a serious accident? right? anyways it is a clean title:
