I saw this car for sale and I was wondering if this car's frame has been bent. Is that frame where the styrofoam is taped to? If the frame is bent, what kind of effect will it have on the car, especially safety wise? If I do get that vehicle, do I have to straighten it up to operate properly?

I have no idea what frame damage can do so please help me out here. I'm confused. Thanks for help in advance!

EDIT: BTW this is a 2000 LS model which has been in an accident and does have salvage title.

lol, its a bent bumper reinforcement... should be replaced, nothing too serious though. Now could the radiator support be damaged? yes its possible, you might wanna measure everythin up to make sure its square etc...

no that is not the frame... that is the front impact bar. it can be easly replaced with a few bolts. retape the foam to a new one and put the bumper on...its no big deal... i can change one in about 30 mins.

should be fine but there might be some unexpected problems... If the price is right I say go for it. Just make sure the alignment is good.

New headlights look nice

Where do I need to measure for the alignments? Does this "have" to be replaced? I guess I'll go search more information on it. Thanks for quick replies!!
