I would first focus on the rest of the car. Does it check out? Then if so, what would the price for a like model be without the damage? Then add the repair cost to the price for this one. How much are you saving by repairing it?

I would bet you could get that "adequately" repaired for less than $1500 (assuming NO damage other than what is visible). Unless you are saving a lot I would not mess with it. You could spend even more on mechanical/maintenance issues so don't completely fixate on the damage aspect.
