damaged, but not branded

2 of the 6 cars I've considered had cosmetic damage of some kind (bad enough that the seller mentioned it).

I was sorely tempted by this low-kilometers 2008 Prius that had a full-length, dent/gash on the driver's side, but it was just too far away (4 hrs) to seriously consider. The ad said "not branded", so for whatever reason the they hadn't gotten their insurance company involved.

Looks like the "incident" started at the A-pillar, took off the outside mirror, possibly broke the driver's window, and ends on the C-pillar.

They were asking $4k.
