Trying to buy a bike off marketplace and not get scammed. Bike is a good deal but there is damage in near the rear tire and stem. Based on what everyone has seen, should I take the guys word that it is just cosmetic or do you think it’s a bigger deal than that?

He said the previous owner had it happen, had the bike bungee strapped and it broke and hit the bike chipping it. He had it looked at by two shops and both said it was only cosmetic.

Any help would be appreciated! He is asking $4k for it
