I’m looking at a 2016 C7 Coupe with 38k, auto, 2LT, asking $49,900. It has had some front end damage, I’m told it had minor damage as a result of being hit in a parking lot. The bumper and headlight was changed out. The fenders were taken off, inspected and put back on.

Is this any reason to stay away from this C7 and should I continue looking elsewhere?

You might want to ask if that is documented with bills.
 
Yes I’ve seen the CARFAX report and the before and after pics.
Have a real close look at the fender and bumper fit. Nice even fender gaps each side from the hood and the doors. No rubbing edges. Other than that, the carfax report does stay with the car. If you're keeping it, likely not an issue but some buyers want clean carfax reports. The price is not a steal but it is decent for the year and mileage. Shame it's an auto. They did have some grief with a shift shudder, Not sure if that got rectified or not as mine is an M7. If you buy, get an AFM disabler so you don't have to put up with the Eco mode 4 cylinder deactivation. Can't believe that's good for an engine. another thing the M7 doesn't have to put up with. Let us know what you do and pictures are always welcome here.

Thank you for the advice. The fit and finish looks good in the pictures. I was wondering about the rad cradle I want to make sure that looks undamaged. I hadn’t thought of the AFM Disabler, good point. I’ll try and post some pics.
