Thinking about buying a used car that I suspect has had some structural work done. The seller is honest enough to admit it was in a shunt a couple of years back and says the frame was straightened at a proper shop, but he doesn't have the paperwork, which is a red flag for me. I've been reading up on chassis alignment and frame straightening in ICAD since that's where a lot of the repair work seems to happen, and I'm trying to understand whether a repaired frame is something you can live with long term or if it's a car you should walk away from. My concern isn't really the repair itself, it's whether the car will ever track straight again, wear tyres evenly, or hold its value when I eventually sell it. Has anyone bought a car with documented frame repairs and been fine with it? And is there any way to verify the work was actually done properly, like a specialist inspection, or do you just have to take the seller's word for it?
