Thanks for the replies, you all! I do agree that Buying a wrecked car is a gamble, but really buying any used car is. My father used to buy wrecked cars, repair them and resell; he never had a problem??
I do not think the car was hit hard enough to cause damage to the radiator ; all parts are original on the car with the exception of the right fender . Other than the obvious body work is there any tips out there to evaluate the mechanical portion of the car ?
Correction to price, the seller is offering the car for what trade in is around 8,500 and retail which is what most dealers sell cars for( or at least try to) is around 12,000.
