Default trading for a car thats had a accident?

I have a guy wanting to trade for my 1995 civic dx d15b7 with y7 head.Mines had obvious body work due to slight rust over rear wheels and on bottom of driver and passenger door. I did the work myself its almost flawless. He has a 1997 hatchback with the y7 motor from what he told me and a ex or si trans. I have yet to see how well its been fixed but the basic question is if its not a salvage or rebuilt title should I worry much if I dont see signs of rust, bondo or out of line body work?

No info? Then why even consider it? Get more info. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. And you're asking US these questions when you haven't seen the car yourself? And why is this posted in Welding/Fabrication?
