Looks to be a TPMS sensor!
easy fix..but good way to negotiate the price.

Yeah if it was drivable after the accident (minor) . It wouldn't make much of a difference to me. If airbags deployed, then yes I'd walk. I'm interested too, in what the car fax said.

The carfax shows the car was in a rear accident.

For me, I love our SC's ( I have actually owned 4 of them ) and to me
I rather pay a bit more or wait than to find one with any body paint work
or ever been in an accident


The 1st SC (06 ) I owned had body work and After the 1st SC
all the SC were all mint with low mileage

my current SC (02 w 46K) is the white Crystal and this one
i paid a premium as matching the pearl white is almost
impossible if the car was in an accident

yes, the paint color is the toughest to match
