There's a 99 Coupe on BAT now that the seller states: "A 2003 accident is noted on the Carfax as affecting the right front and rear pillars, and the seller describes overspray visible near the fuel filler. The seller notes that the paint work appears to have been done to a high standard." I'm thinking this car had to take a pretty good hit. The car looks pretty nice in photos, would anyone take a gamble on a vehicle like this?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Not necessarily a big hit. My W.A. guess is it got backed into by something big & tall. I saw a Toyota Celica back in the early 90s with damage to both pillars from a huge flatbed backing into it on the side. That why I won�t park in spots where my vehicle is sideways from others backing out. Those spots are notorious for causing worse damage to the vehicle getting hit. I saw it too many times in a parking lot where I worked for about a year.
Pass. The pillars are integral to rollover protection and crashworthiness. They are extremely difficult to repair to maintain integrity. There are plenty of other cars out there.
