I know this is truck but I get some good Ideals from you guys...

This is at a body shop down the road. It is a 03 Pathfinder LE loaded with
everything. 15K miles from a town 30 miles away.
This car took a hit on the driver side. It took out the left finder it did
hit the wheel and took out door. I saw the pictures of the wreck. It took no
engine damage. Really did not look to bad. The wheel did take a hit. I think
that did the damage

I do know the fellow who owns the BODY Shop.  He is pretty honest. He has
fixed a wrecked truck of mine a few years back.
The price on this is 15K starting out. He told me he could come down some
more. This does have a wrecked title

He told me when he was finished I could take it to any front end shape to be
checked/put on a laser.
I've been told no way to buy this. When a unibody is damaged it is out and
will haunt you forever.
This is for my daughter who is in  her 3rd year of college. I was hoping
this to be her last car from me.
Her ride now has 100K and time to find one.

Ok give me the goods and bads and what I need to know about this Car.. Lay
it on me
The truck  I now drive was totaled out. It is a 92 Z71 I have 298K miles on
it.
I'm on the side of buying this but what to get the facts and things to think
about.
Tks

I wouldn't touch that with a 1000 mile pole.  If your going to be spending
in the neighborhood of $15k on a vehicle, there are plenty of good used cars
on the market that haven't been wrecked.  Believe me, I know, I just bought
an '03 S10 ZR2 with 17,900 miles and 4 months of factory warranty left, for
$16k.  Not to mention that having a wrecked title pretty much means you or
your daughter are screwed should you try to sell it at a later date.
