35k for a clean c2 2005 would be hell of a steal.

that's also what i was thinking... any other input on this?

the damage just seems to be the front... looks like the engine is fine

It still might be reasonable depending on what you are going to do with it and how long you are going to keep it. While the damage was significant a 10mph crunch could be all it was. A year ago my wife bought a Lincoln MKX that had had almost identical damage to what this one appears to have had for 20-25% under book. 10,000 miles later it drives fine and zero problems. We'll probably sell it in a couple of years and by then who cares about a 2009 accident report on a car with 35-40,000 miles?

Carfax info on what has happened since the accident would be interesting if you have it. Good Luck
