Depends on how much you get it for, then do the math to see how much more it would cost to fix it up, sounds like a headache, but if you don't care, have the time and patience, I say go for it, other than that, I'd spend the cash just to get a better one than that....

Ill try to find a pic of mine from when I slid on black ice going 5mph into some ones bumper, mine was far less worse. I bent the hood, lip, bumper guard, both fenders and needed a few other things replaced and my insurance company paid $6,7000 for all the work. This thing needs, hood, bumper guard, bumper, fenders, air bags, radiator, AC parts and maybe new head lights. I'm sure I could find a lot more wrong with it in person.

I don't know if its just me but the rear passenger side wheel looks bend inward.

Dont buy a turbo kit, make your own...

Yeah you're gonna have to pull the frame some. At the minimum pull the frame horn out, looks like it's probably crushed at least 5-6in.

Oh and if it's a legit shop you're taking it to they won't touch the airbags unless they're brand new oem sealed in the box. It's a liability to them if they're not new, so that's $2000+ for both sides including the srs control unit.

Don't do it, You can easily get an AP1 with that many miles on it for 10grand and under.
I have seen some for 7grand with 60k miles plus.

Did you figure in the price to paint the whole front end and blend the sides?
And don't forget how hard it will be to ever resell with ACCIDENT on the title history.

How about the air bag? Do you know how much it is to replace that? And are you 100% positive that this is all cosmetics?
