Okay, here's the deal:

a friend of mine just wrecked his 1995 Talon. Slid in some ice and slammed it at about 35 into a light pole.

The motor still runs and everything mechanically is fine. He wants me to take it off his hands for like 500-600 bucks. Bone stock TSI AWD 5 Spd, 98k miles, just had all the reg maint done.

So I'm thinking I'll have to replace the radiator support, hood, and front bumper along with the radiator and AC condensor. Pending I can get all of these parts at a junk yard (which should be no problem) What do you think the cost should be? It looks like I might need to get the supports straightened out maybe....

and yes, I know I can't expect to get an exact price online, but I'm just wondering if it would be worth it.
 
Do you have any pics? Slamming into something that solid goin 35 will really mess up a car. I mean they test front end crashes at like 40 and those cars are very well totalled afterwards.
 
Last year someone hit me going like 5mph and scrapped my fender headlight.. i needed a new headlight and a new bumper and it all came out to 800 dollars.
