Besides a close look and getting a professional to check it out there is no way to know if any car hasn't been abused at some point by the previous owner, his friends, etc. I bought a car that had 3 previous owners.

The price is very good, considering it only has 9,000 miles on it! So it was not likely abused by the owner, but who knows what was done to it when it was out of their hands. Supposedly it was recovered unharmed with no repairs necessary. The dealership selling it said I could have it inspected at BMW.
Without this blemish on its record, I suspect the car would be worth much much more. I am wondering if the lower price reflects the diminished value.
