you'll find that a large percentage of vehicles currently circulating our roads have looked worse than that swift at some stage.

Nothing wrong with the sale at all, as others have suggested this happens all the time. Used Car yards are mostly stocked with once pranged commutes. Every 2nd car i worked on as mechanic had signs of accident damage that current owner new nothing about.
The fact they stated minor damage, easily repaired - that thing has had a decent knock in the rear! Theres a few grand or more of repairs there.

This guy either has no idea or is deliberately misleading potential buyers, the car is a repairable writeoff and will be listed as such on WOVR Australia wide. It dosen't matter from which state/auction he bought it from.
That being said if you bought it at a reasonable price and spent a few $$$ on it
it might be a cheap car. But you need to do your homework and price parts and painting etc. etc.
