Default Buying a used keep cherokee

Hi
I'm planning to buy a used keep Cherokee from a dealer... after doing a through research I found that particular vehicle was involved in a accident!!! I gone through enough car history websites all I figured is there was a rear n front damage I could not find anything else.... I took the car to a mechanic to get pre purchase inspection they gave report that the engine oil is in very bad shape and the gauge stick is bit rusty, I also see the back rear right light is broken... the dealer is offering me 5k less price than the market price the vehicle is a clean title please suggest me is there anything else checkups I should perform before buying it !!!!
