Don’t bother with any car that has had any history of accidents.
Even some light accidents ?
Yeah even then. It’s one of those things you just shouldn’t entertain because you don’t want to later discover that a small accident actually did more damage than first realized.
get a pre purchase inspection? there is no reason to pass on a car because it had a fender bender if someone actually looks in over it which everyone should do before a huge investment like buying a car.
I dunno, my philosophy is that cars are a dime a dozen so you shouldn’t ever settle for one with damage when you can eventually find the same one without if you keep looking.
Actually, for a used car, I would recommend to look for a nasty but cosmetic scratch. It's the kind of stuff which gets you a great discount while not impacting the mechanical performance.
