and you did ask after all

I used to work in Vehicle Recovery a while back and went out to these sorts of motors every day. Sometimes you just wander how the occupants got out alive !!!! Was an interesting job and one I loved but the hours were crap.

Very slow speed impact, probably around 10 to 15 mph, but car came to a dead stop, creating enough inertia to deploy the upper airbags, but not the seatbelt pre tensioners. or, driver wasn't wearing seatbelt!
Bonnet hinges appear to have been snipped off, this would have been done by the Fire service to isolate the battery.
Front bumper beam is still in good condition, so this car didn't go into the back of something!
Most damage is to the O/S and the wheel has been punched back into the lower A post
Damage to the door would have been done by the driver, or the Emergency services forcing it open, and not the accident itself...
In my opinion, this car was at a "T" junction, and pulled out to turn "Right" but the driver didn't see the side of the lorry that it went under! Damage to the drivers side wheel would have been done when it was hit by the N/S rear wheel of the Lorry
I suspect that there is very little or no chassis damage, and as long as it still runs and drives, it would be a great car to successfully repair... 10 to 12k should see it done properly
And... the ding on the rear door was most likely done by the Salvage yard! moving it on a forklift! :lipsrsealed:

Without doing the figures, and not being able to inspect the car, it would be impossible to say, but final figure should be about 15 to 20% saving on the list price for a car of that year, mileage and spec
could be a very worthwhile repair!
