is this repairable and how much

well my buddy was suppose to sell me his rx8 but he drove it into a ditch i was at his house and took some pics of it. he said the rx8 still drive and all that was messed up was the front bumper. well i dont know much about rx8 inside and outside but i have done some research on the rx8. like the flooding issue when turning off the motor when its still cold and how you have to drive it to redline to remove the carbon build up in the engine on regular basis. i am still researching on this car although i need you guys help on determine if this is repairable.

ok so first off just about anything if fixable for a price.

secondly we are going to need better day time photos to eliminate some of the glare. But to me it looks like your under cover, front air dam, front bumper, and both corner markers are going to have to be replaced. Probably the fog lights too but again I can''t tell from your photos. As far as what you should really do is this:

Buy a mazdaspeed front bumper, lower air dam, engine undercover, fog light mounting bracket, clear corner markers, and all the mounting pieces. This is going to easily cost you 2000 dollars to get fixed. If thats the case once you get better photos to us then I would take it out of the total cost of the car.

Once the bumper has been removed you will need to check for more damage. Check the insulation, intake, radiator, oil coolers and lines. Everything that you can see you need to inspect. plus we need more information on the car. years, miles, mods, previous maint history, previous accident history, eng replacment. Plus anything else you want to admit.
