If they just hung a new fender or popped a new hood on - there is no reason to feel the car is inferior to one which may or may not have had a panel replaced prior to initial purchase. It's just metal.
I agree, my Crossfire has an unknown - to me - history. I know of a different nose(SRT), painted panels, some small plastic pieces missing, sanding scratches on the hood, some small misalignment of one door. It has been a GREAT car though and so far has given me 3 years of driving fun for a good price. BTW it had a clean Carfax.
