If its cheap, easy to fix, been to my own mechanic to have a full inspection, than I guess.

Yeah...obviously no frame damage

If you don't care about resale value and want to take the crapshoot on more issues than you can actually see then go for it.

I am just looking at that crease along the upper 1/4 of the rear to the window and seeing all kinds of trunk leaks, glass leaks and issues of that nature.

That is easy to say but the question is are you actually going to take the car in and have it put on a frame alignment machine for $60 and have it checked or are you just saying it?
