It's not hard at all. Two or three measurements will tell you if it's been hit

Meh, I think that by taking a tape measurer with you & doing in front of the owner not only saves the both of you time, but it shows the owner that you know a little about the car. So when you say something is wrong , he/she will be more apt to accept it as fact & not as a means of getting them to lower the selling price of the car.
