Yeah, it'll be harder to sell later--but at least you're pricing the hit into the purchase price, which is better than what would happen if you bought a pristine one and pranged it.
Yes to your points, and maybe I should have added to my comment that I didn't look at BAT comments, but I bet the carfax will be heavily discussed on BAT. Got to love someone who takes pictures of their awesome car with a storage lot backround!
