What could go wrong?

If you saw a nice looking Ford Maverick for sale but it had a bent tailgate and rear bumper from an accident, what are the other problems could be lurking? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

being it is a uniti body, I'd look at the sheet metal behind the bumper, and at the floor of the bed. You could crawl under and look for bent sheet metal.
If things look straight, and you can fit a replacement tailgate, I'd make an offer I was comfortable with should I have to have professional work done on
the lower portion of the bed. If no bed damage, take a look anyway, and offer as desired. I would have very little concern if the bed has not been
bonked.
