Default House Settling Question

Hello!

My wife and I found a very nice house with a history. It was built in
2003. About a year ago, it settled and it cost them nearly 10,000 out
of pocket to fix it. It looks great and has a lifetime warranty on the
repair work for the settling.

The biggest "scar" is a huge crack in the garage foundation that was
filled in. It is very noticable.

We don't have a problem living there but I am afraid to buy it in the
mere fact it cuts our seller base in half when we go to sell it.

What is good rule of thumb when buying a home that has this kind of
past history?

Thanks,
Brian
