Should i buy or not?

Looking at a 2004 Mini Cooper s with 78k miles for about $9900 it has very option you can think of but I think it might have been in an accident let me know your thoughts guys I really appreciate the inputs.

Here's the link to the car

Alright what price do you think I should start at to negotiate? I'd like to get it for 9k or less.

Can you get it inspected? If the accident resulted in minor damage, that price still isn't bad. You may be able to talk them down to $9 or so if something turns up.
