people can repaint and replace parts without having to report it as an accient to anyone.
just so you know. so carfax and all those accident reports aren't always that reliable

i can run a carfax for you, but like Macbeth said, they aren't ALWAYS reliable. All someone has to do is not claim it on insurance. Of course that means there shouldn't be any major damage that was very expensive to replace.

If you didn't notice anything it's been repaired pretty well, and a fender and door isn't going to affect the structure of the car. A lot of used cars on the market have taken some fender damage during their life. It really doesn't affect the value much unless it's considered a unique or collectible car.
