Default Price/Car Advice

Im not dead set on it but i wanted to see what the community thinks,,
Been looking at a 04 QS with 49k miles on it.. The price started at 23995 and is now down too 21995 and i was told 21500...
Car is flawless outside and inside but theres always something huh...
I car faxed it and in 04 it went into a ditch and says overturned more then 1k damage, but has a clean title.. The car has had over 8 yrs to show wear but still looks nice...
What price do you think this should be at with the Carfax issue.. Would you consider it...Thank you for your time

$19K if it completely checks out on a lift.

Why even bother with one that has a record on Carfax. I'm sure other ppl will disagree but there are SO many cherry C5's out there for very reasonable prices. No chance I'd be getting into one with a known wreck unless it was quite a steal and brother over 20K ain't a steal.

The word "overturned" would scare me and I'd keep looking.... especially since there are soooo many other Z06's out there.
