If someone came on this forum and asked if they should buy this car because it’s a “great deal”, but has this history, what would be your replies?
Because I see a lot of “walk away” replies when people do that for rental cars, 3-4 previous owners, possible A8 issues, etc.
When you start “pulling” on a unibody to straighten it, chances are it’ll never track right again, there will be fit issues, there will be rattle issues, etc. That pillar is a major structural component of the car. I wouldn’t want it back.

Yeah, the double standard get can pretty thick around here sometimes. Former rental cars are the black plague, but a fixed up car with $18k worth of damage is good to keep if the shop fixes it.
Also, you have to consider the source. If it's some owner who trades their car in every 3 years for the latest greatest thing, then they will have a different opinion compared to someone who keeps their vehicles for a long time.
