Should I?

Buy this
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/car/635121898.html
It has a lot of miles and needs a new front and rear bumber. For the price is it worth all those miles and bumber?

looks like it was ridden hard and put up wet. Depends on if it's really been driven like that every day or someone went off the road in it recently.

for that price, you should at least consider it. Be skeptical but see what needs to be replaced and calculate it. You might save some money. But have an Evo-experienced person inspect it.

Ehh if you're really keen on her, make sure you bring a knowledgeable mechanic with you to check things out. IMO this car looks like it will be more of a pain than anything else.

It only looks like lower cosmetic damage. The airbags didn't deploy so I don't think it was a collision. If I had to make an assumption of the cause of damage I would say the previous owner drove over something that was too high for the bottom of the body kit. I did see that the LICP is dented as well. I would say it is worth a look but definitely bring somebody who has mechanical knowledge.

I would say that it depends if the frame is bent or anything to be considered Salvage. I suppose if the frame is still perfect, it'll be a MAYBE.

I just personally do not like buying things like this! I've learned from experience it is just asking for headaches!
