I'm thinking about buying something small and fast like the Golf GTI. I found this one, unfortunately, it has been in an accident. I need some advice on whether I should even consider buying it, your help is greatly appreciated!

To me it doesn't look like a big deal, I still know buying it would be a gamble, but the seller claims all parts that were damaged in any way were replaced and there has not been any damages on the engine itself.

Here are the pictures of the before accident and after restoration:

Pic2 before repair: Pic2 before repair

Pic3 after repair: Pic3 after repair

Thank you!

Take it to a car lot that has an identical vehicle and compare. I did this once and was shocked at the difference between a wrecked and non wrecked. Also obviously drive it and see if it tracks good and has no vibrations. Nothing wrong with buying a wrecked car if the repairs are done right
