Arrow Should i buy?

Found this locally supposedly well taken care of until it was in an accident. its a 92 with 150k and the interior is supposedly real nice she said it is driveable. I'm probably gonna check it out when the lady has some free time. She asking $800 "firm" but i'de try to jew her down more anyway. So is it worth doing? i can get parts locally and have a buddy that paint for me on the cheap. From the pix looks like the insides would be ok.

you're gonna have to look inside to see if it was just the bumper cover or stuff damaged inside.
looks like it took a little damage inside, check the core support up front. check for airbag deployment or signs of a new airbag on the steering wheel (92 has no passenger bag). I would run a check on it to double check the title and make sure its not a salvage, especially with the recent accident, their old title may not reflect it. If its legit and didnt take too much damage its not a bad deal. you can find used green bumper covers all day long.

ya i'll deff get a good look at it whenever its avialble to go see if the airbag deployed i wont be interested cuz that would be a pretty hard hit but i dont think it has. The wreck just happened and insurance co totaled it so i guess technically its a slavage title now that doesnt bother me though. If you got a line on a green one lmk in case i get it. I just figured i'de prob have to get the hood and bumper painted.
