Just make sure that the N number that is showing the accident history is the airplane you are looking at. N numbers do get reassigned, and people do request N numbers that were previously on aircraft that were damaged, destroyed, or had their N numbers changed or left the country. I think Wil discovered this with his 150, 501PA, which showed an accident or damage that turned out to be on a Pan American L1011 that had the number assigned to it at one time.
The N number could have damage but not the airplane you are looking at.
