Auto body repair & detailing: Unibody Damage, front wheel alignment, 2004 nissan pathfinder

Question
I am in the market to buy a SUV. I have researched a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder (VIN JN8DR09Y14W908061)that I know from the seller was auctioned in Florida (I am in GA). Autocheck indicates the SUV was "Announced as Unibody Damage", (CARFAX reports sold at auction, but does not mention unibody damage). Autocheck, though it reports unibody damage does not report data on an accident, etc. This information is vague to me. Should I bother to have a qualified mechanic check it out and ascertain if the SUV is actually in good shape with repairs, or is the fact this is on the report enough to not consider it at all?

Answer
Unibody damage on a pathfinder is a confusing statement due to the fact it is a full frame vehicle.The fact that frame damage is stated is irrelavant because you dont know the extent of the damage.The best bet is to get the vehicle in the air and inspect for cracks and tears and signs of clamp and chain marks where the vehicle was held down for pulling.Also check 4 wheel alignment,not just front wheel alignment.
