Passenger's side looks fine to me.

Just drive on the farthest side to the left of the road and nobody can see the damage.

I'm gonna go for it.

he's smokin crack thinking he's getting that much for a total loss. look at the passenger side closely. the whole chassis is bent. that car is unrepairable. NO body shop will fix a car like that. Especially a shop that wants to keep their reputation. I work at a body shop and that car is nowhere near fixable

LOL. No, you'll probably just need it towed on the left side of a one-way road.

There's way more than 17k in parts on that car. I don't think anyone in there right mind would attempt to fix that. But if purchased and stripped for resale of the parts I'm sure they could get way more than 17K for the parts

i noticed that too. looks like the passenger side rear door is having trouble closing. and the trunk is either open on screwed too.

that is definately a part out. the only way to help that car live on would be to put its engine into another chassis.

Anyone noticed that the engine bay is really dirty for a car with around 6k miles?? Has it been sitting around with the hood open outside or something?

Can someone do me a favor and ask the seller if that car has been in an accident?

If those are Rotas (looks like their gold) I'd say they didn't fare to bad for supposedly crap wheels.
