It all depends on what it(the damage) looks like under the hood. Cant really get an idea from these pics. 50/50 chance I think it would be an easy fix. Definitely not cheap though. Ive seen the same thing for 8 grand. 12 is too much ( I think) if damage to the frame is there.

I would walk away. Make sure you or someone you trust looks at the car and knows the cars because 74 auto wont tell you everything that is wrong. I bought 2 cars from this guy and took a hit on both.

Yea, I was going to go look at it tomorrow. I'm pretty good friends with a mechanic and was going to have him come with to make sure everything is mechanically sound.

my uncle owns a collision car shop. i've seen the cost just pile up and skyrocket on those types of damages. i agree with the ppl that say to walk away from it. u will easily easily spend $10,000 to $15, 000 just to get it to be mediocre.
i think it would be a better investment to spend your money at a car dealer, and get something that has assurance that it will work
this is what i think my gut feeling is saying. DONT BUY IT BRO

if wonder if he konws how much head lights are alone for the 06+ models. def will cost come cash to fix. and even if you do fix it. you wont be able to sell it for nothing whenever you do. and if you total it the insureance wont give you squat for all the money you put in it fixing it up. so i wouldnt get it if i were you.

I probably wouldn't want to take the risk of keeping this car. It probably wouldn't drive the same ever again. That kind of damage would possibly impact the alignment. You won't know till everything is all fixed, then you take it to a computer alignment.

Turn around and walk away.
The insurance company has sold it for salvage and after you spend five+ years fixing it up, it still won't be right. Parts will be closer to $12K since it's such a new model and unless you work in a bodyshop (with a frame machine) you'll spend $10-15K on labor. These cars are NOT for someone who wants to try fixing it in their garage in their spare time.
Life is short--move on and thank me later...

Frame damage is very expensive and Nismo parts are not cheap.
That bumper and under diffuser is nearly $1K unpainted for just those two parts.
