That bodywork plus a clean carfax equals fraud somewhere. If you just bought it, then it would be grounds to cancel the sale (my suggestion), or get a hefty rebate based upon actual worth. If you are still shopping it, then walk away. Any place willing to do bodywork under the radar won't hesitate to do substandard work with poor quality materials, especially if they left it like that. If it is already looking like that, it won't be long before it really goes to hell - not that hard to get a decent looking finish, but without some time-consuming work in preparation it won't last a year before it starts to bubble up, flake off, or otherwise fail. And that's not even considering what the impact might have damaged in the chassis, rear suspension/diff/bearings etc.
