2005 STI Complete Car - Front and Rear Damage - Salvaged Title
I was recently involved in an accident where I was rear ended and then pushed into the car in front of me causing $6k to $8k worth of damage to my car.
I don't feel right driving a car that I've been in an accident with so I'm testing waters to see if someone wants to purchase it whole.
I've listed everything that I'm aware of. I'm not trying to hide anything. If you need additional information, let me know.
Car Details
2005 Obsidian Black Pearl STI with 102k miles
The car is currently stock, however it had an aftermarket downpipe, exhaust, FMIC, intake, and Cobb AP at various points during it's life.
Stoptech brake pads and rotors with ~15k miles
Pilot Super Sport Tires with ~10k miles
The car was on BC Racing Coilovers when I bought it from the auction, but I replaced it with stock struts and springs.
Short Throw Shifter
Homelink
WRX Front and Rear Black Seats
WRX Black Carpet
Price $7k FIRM

Background
I originally bought this car from an auction on October 2011 with 86.5k miles and a salvaged title. I had plans to swap the motor and tranny into an RS, however I deemed the damage wasn't too sever so I fixed it myself and have been daily driving it since.
Prior Damage - 2011
When I bought the car from the auction, it had damage to the front bumper, passenger frame where the bumper beam connects, both headlights, passenger fender, radiator support, slight damage to the hood, and driver side quarter panel. No air bags were deployed.
I bought a new bumper, fender, bumper beam/foam, and radiator support from Subaru. The radiator support was bolted down since I didn't know a welder at that time. The hood and rear quarter panel were left as they were.

I was searching for a hood with scoop. I don't have a scoop.
I don't drive very far in my car. Longest drives are 30 miles on a trip once a week.

I was searching for a hood and scoop. I found one a little beat up that I was going to buy, but then I ended up getting hit.

If you can, compression/leak down test the motor to see if it healthy. That will alleviate a lot of concerns or potential hesitations.
EDIT: Just noticed something. Is the trunk floor/spare tire well tweaked in the last picture?
