Default Should I consider a car that was side swiped?

I am in the market for a new used car. I found a 2015 S3 with 83,000 miles for $21,000. Not only are the miles high but it was in a side swipe accident.
From the carfax:
  • Accident reported
    • Vehicle involved in a side swipe collision with another motor vehicle
    • It hit a parked motor vehicle
    • Damage to left front
    • Damage to left rear
    • Damage to left side
    • Vehicle drivable

Plenty of miles have been put on since the accident.

83000 miles for a 2015 isn’t particularly high at all

no one can answer the question - it all depends how it was fixed
