CARFAX Question

So I'm about to buy a 2006 4Runner Limited and when I pull the CARFAX report I see this:

11/14/2007 - New Jersey Damage Report
Parts requested to repair damage after an accident or other incident

Front bumper assembly
Right side front door assembly
Right side fender
Right side park/turn lamp
Right side headlamp assembly
Hood
Left side hub
Right knee assembly
Front right lower control arm
Front spindle knuckle
Right front upper control arm
Right front wheel

I know this is the 3rd gen forum, but if anyone here could give me some insight on whether or not this vehicle should still be considered, it would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, that's sort of what I'm thinking, too. I specifically asked the guy if it had been in an accident and he said "no", so I've got a pretty bad feeling about this. Kind of makes me wish I hadn't wired him $1,000 to hold it...

Sucks about the $1000. I lost a wallet with $800 in it once...

Tell him you want your money back because Carfax is reporting an accident.
