Oh man that is a bit of a bummer, looks like it would probably cost an arm and a leg getting it fixed up as new...

Why would anyone want to repair a car that badly damaged, theres prob more damage than meets the eye... once a cars badly damaged, best to crush it and get another imo.

Ouch! Not very nice at all, looks like a repair could be very costly indeed.

"Never Raced - One careful owner".

Actually I don't think it's that bad. Depends on how violently it rolled over in the first place. Note that the person who put the ad in states that it can be driven so if the chassis is not actually bent it's probably less bad than meets the eye. The roof can be easily dented out. Could make a great project car for track days.

Good point Gareth... Just another indication that there has been no harsh impact in the first place...

If it doesn't have the reflex pack there would be no reason for the airbags to
deploy as there is no frontal collision by the look of it.

If it had the reflex pack the curtain airbags and o/s thorax airbag would have possibly deployed.

Or they could have just been broken and not worked :P

Still not that much damage to the front, The engine bay looks pretty intact, its probably just been through a fence or something, I still dont think the air bag would have been needed in that collision

It possibly isn't as bad as it looks. But still, most if not all, of the bodywork will need replaced, and there is the danger that there might be hidden damage there. By that I mean that although the chassis and internal parts might be Ok now, theres the risk that they may be weakened.

I don't know how much it would cost to get it on the road again, but I would reckon it would take you into the price region where you would have to question whether the saving you're making on buying a normal second hand one is worth it or not.
