Planning on buying a 2006 Subaru WRX STI that has had "Unibody/Frame alignment" done should I buy?!?!?!?

I've found a 2006 subaru Wrx STI with 14000 miles on it for $20,000 the only issue is that the frame alignment/unibody alignment has been done about 6,000 miles ago, (by the way the frame alignment does not show on car fax or any official records) also still has 3 months left on the 3 year bumper to bumper, as well as 2.5 of the 5 year 60,000 mile powepower trainranty, and runs great/looks great....feels great. No odd tire wear and no pulling, good or bad idea?!!?!!?!?!?? I plan on sellling it within about 1 year. Thanks for your time.......

    no

    unibody/frame alignment indicates car was in a really bad accident (bad enough to bend the frame) which means that for now the car is fine, but it can never be straightened to factory spec (ie before doors etc were attached) regardless of what anyone says

    also pricing on edmunds says car with that kind of damage should be aroound 17 k give or take

    further since damage is not documented on any records, any problem stemming from this repair could possibly be denied by the dealer later on
