2013 Toyota sienna limited 143k miles with clean history for $10k is a good price or not a grab?

I’m considering buying a used car that has An accident / no damage to the vehicle listed (Front end) in Carfax. Should I not buy it even if it’s checked out by a mechanic and finds nothing? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
just came across this, sorry if I’m late.
A car that went true a real accident is NOT as safe as before and in case of another accident C”V the frame won’t hold up as well to protect the passengers inside.
So you can usually get a good deal on such a vehicle but it’s at a safety cost

that's assuming there is frame damage. A minor fender bender is unlikely to have frame damage.

Correct, most vehicles that have frame damage you can tell, it's almost impossible to put back a vehicle frame like it was before any damage.
   if there is frame damage in the front of the vehicle just by opening the hood or measuring the gaps from the hood to the panel's you could see if it's off.
 and the same with the trunk if it's a car remove the spare tire and look inside if you see any welding or misaligned panels.
 Hard to hide.

funny story, I actually ended up tracking down the original owner to clarify what happened, and ended up buying the car.

It's an amazing time to buy cars that are just off lease. Any make and model.

Banks and finance companies are desperate to get them off their hands. You can get them for a couple K's off.

Also commercial advertising is against the forum rules. I was giving a general PSA that it's a great time to buy off lease vehicles. You can use your local agent, or you can PM for a trusted person I know.
