considering buying a caad12 with this dent in the DS chainstay
I don't usual respond to this kind of enquiry, but when I do it's to say I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole

Owners that are more interested in red anodising than maintenance.

Don’t listen to Kimmo.

That'll buff out.
But not before you end up in hospital.

Even without the crack, I'd say this is definitely toast. Aluminium fatigues given half a chance, and that dent is evidently a big invitation.
And the more highly engineered the item, the more marginal it is... CAAD12 is right up there. I'd swap it for the dodgy carbon frame in a heartbeat
