Default Salvage Ridgeline project?

Found a potential Ridgeline close to me:

Seems to look like a simple project that a ~$2000 in body panels couldn't fix. Not sure what condition the frame is in though. They claim is drives. Would like to get it up on a frame rack.

They also have this one:

Could make a deal on both of them.......

I would low ball the hell out of them on that one. looks like there are only a couple of straight panels on that thing and it's probably gonna cost a little more than 2K for the needed body work to fix it. otherwise go for it. you will love a Ridgeline. I love mine. it rides like a car and hauls like a truck. and they actually get descent gas mileage to. I averaged 19mpg towing our SCCA CR-X on a dolly to and from Gainesville, Fla. with the A/C on the whole time.

The one for $8800? I'm going to go look at it Saturday to see if there is visible frame damage. But from the pics, it looks like:
bumper
left fender
hood
rear quarter panel
turn signal - headlight maybe
That's how I came up with ~2000$. Did not included time/labor for qrt panel install and repaint.

It does have 93K for a 2006, so someone has been busy.

The one they want 3900 for is a joke. Would be ok for some spare engine parts at best.
