I personally wouldn't buy a car with a $25 K hit (front and rear), but to each his own. In the US, it'll show up on CarFax etc as a wrecked car, thus ALWAYS affecting its resale value. So, you get it for cheap and sell it for cheap..........and the beat goes on!!
I wouldn't always trust carfax. I looked up my C55's VIN and it came up clean with no reported accident and a buyback guarantee. Oh how wrong they were.
