Should I buy the car?
So I am in desperate need of a car. My cousin helped me get a car in the summer since her husband knew more about vehicles and it turned out to be complete junk. I've had the thing in the shop more than on the road. Every week something breaks down in it. I've been out of town in it twice and ive gotten stranded for 6 hours in the blazing heat and then the second time, the shocks went out (but, luckily I was able to make it home safely).
So this time I was trying to find a vehicle myself. Unfortunately, because of my crappy vehicle, I can only stay in my small hometown. I'm also a little afraid to buy from sellers after what my cousin got me. So I've been focusing my attention on car lots. Thankfully, I have a great mechanic and he said before we buy anything, to bring it over to his shop and he will make certain there is nothing wrong underneath.
I found a car that I am interested in. It's from a car lot that just started last July. The car is a white 2011 Malibu. It has 168,000 miles. My issue is that on the back bumper it looks like someone has hit it. It hasn't left a dent, but it has left marks on the back bumper and I'm wondering because of this is it worth paying almost $5300 for it.
What do you think? Is it still a good deal or should I pass? The car looks perfect except for the mark in the back.
I currently have a 2005 Saturn Relay minivan and I was told by mechanic that it was a foreign car. Not sure where it is from since my cousin is the one who picked it out.
The vehicle I had before was a Ford Taurus, it was reliable but had its problems. I wanted something a little bigger since my legs were always cramped, but I only have $5,500 tops to spend.

Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good.

You should definitely take your mechanics advice. But to save time, I suggest forgetting about the Malibu and look at something that has a better chance of passing your mechanic's inspection, such as a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. You'll pay a little more, but you get a more reliable vehicle that is less likely to leave you stranded.

Sounds overpriced to me

A better car for less money would be a Mercury Grand Marquis, Ford Crown Victoria or a Lincoln Town Car. (These are all basically the same car.) You can find a good one a bit older than this Malibu with less mileage for less money. They are durable and comfortable cars that get good mileage on regular gas, and they have a V8 and rear wheel drive (like God intended).

I wouldn't buy it. The Chevy Malibu is not that good of a car to begin with, especially with almost 170,000 miles on it. I would try to look at cars like a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. if you want something bigger there's always the Camry or Accord. They cost a bit more than a comparable American car, but they're typically more reliable.
I would also stay away from those car lots that you see on the side of the road. Try to stick to private sellers and reputable dealerships, like a dedicated Ford or Toyota dealership that has been around a while. They tend to care more about their reputation in the community, and are less likely to sell you a piece of crap.Also, good on you for getting a mechanic to inspect cars that you're interested in buying. It might cost you a little bit of money up front, but that could keep you from buying a junker that you have to repair every two weeks.
