Would you?

I think the going rate for an 02 with that many miles may be around $15K+ USD,

An accident of any kind regardless of repairs probably devalues it another $2K

A repair like this spells UPGRADE time to a cooler new bumper style and Projector headlights so thats about 4K of repairs/upgrade.

I'd say your OK at 8K if there are no surprises and up for getting the work done.

Still get a PPI for the mechanical aspects in any case.

I think the best deal is a cream puff that's been sheltered all it's life and seldom used. Keep looking.

And that will come with dry IMS bearings.

Well I went to see this car today. There is obviously more damage to the car than you can see in the picture. I think it jumped a curb before it struck a parked car. There is damage to the suspension and the front wheel. So the search continues.

Thanks again for the great advice!!
