Ask for pictures of the damage to see for yourself exactly how bad it was. The car may drive fine now but you could run into problems later on from a damaged chassis, front axle, or any compromise to the structural integrity of the car.

And you should run the car facts report using the Vin. Does the car have a rebuilt title? You won't have much luck reselling that in Canada, something to take into consideration.

And people are asking if you plan to drive it all year around because you live in Winnipeg, where the winters are sometimes as cold -37 Celsius. It'll be difficult to drive in the snow and on ice with a RWD.
