I was thinking about buying this and slowling repairing it over awhile. Cant afford to do it all at once. but i can do 95% of it myself I dont know all the info on the wreck havnt looked at it yet emailed the guy about more info on the wreck and everything. But hes asking 8000 was gonna offer 7000 and see what he said it only has 32,000 miles on it. what do you guys think?

Looks like you have a front bent axle or there's some serious camber on the car. ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Check if the chassis has been tweaked... Looks like he curbed something and then slammed right into the car in front. The distance of the front wheel from it's well is pretty bad... It's more than replacing the bumper and fenders for sure.
Perhaps after adding in all the parts, paint, alignment, etc ; you may be better off buying a used one.

You might want to bring it to a mechanic to have a second look. I am not sure if it has any structural damage, so you should have that checked out before considering. I personally would not spend the amount as suggested, since you will probably spend a lot more just to get it all fixed. The finished amount could probably buy you a "new" corolla or something. just my thoughts

It looks good from the backside! (Just trying to stay positive here...)
Honestly though, I would have nothing to do with a mess like that. Ever seen the movie "Money Pit"? That's what comes to mind...

Some people don't WANT the wood, doesn't mean it's a lesser car. It was an OPTION. I bet since you have a wood interior that you also have that little extra button on the right side of the steering wheel that's below the blue tooth buttons. Right?
