As others have said a tree is no joke. BUT..... that doesn't mean the car should be out.
Take a look at the car and if the price seems discounted appropriately then bring it to a mechanic and get a better idea as to what happened. Even if its on your own dime you can wind up with a great car (especially if you don't track) at a very discounted cost.
Also if you intend to hold on to the car for a few years and get an appreciable warranty you can easily come out ahead. These cars tank in depreciation and so the margin between say your car and another of similar miles could only be 5k tops when the car itself is worth 25-30k at 5 years. This is assuming you vetted the car and have a good warranty to address problems that can and will arise (keep in mind clean cars have their share of problems too). Then 5 years down the road you end up ahead of all of us. Of course if you are going to flip the car in a year all bets are off.
