According to Edmunds - it may only be worth $7-8k without needing the
repairs. Then comes the question about other potential, unseen damage
from the obvious accident. You should plug the actual car information
into Edmunds site to get a better estimate, but it sounds like problems
and not all that great a deal to to me.
