Default Help me assess front end damage

Ladies and gents-

Hope you all are enjoying some time off. I am hoping to get your thoughts on a salvaged titled S2000. It's a 2008 with approximately 33k miles. It's somewhat local to me, otherwise I probably wouldn't give it a second thought. The current owner basically has no information. He purchased it from a rebuilt title dealer. He doesn't have any information on the repairs or anything. I did some of my own digging and obtained a carfax, autocheck, and even found pictures of it wrecked. The new owner has had it for just a few months and put only a couple hundred miles on it. I haven't met him in person, but I'm thinking he's trying to do a quick flip. I have him down to $10k, but I want to get your thoughts to determine if it's worth pursuing. Below is a link of the damage. The new owner claims everything was repaired with OEM parts. I don't have current pictures as his ad has expired.

Is something with this type of damage truly fixable? Of course I would get it checked, but I would like input from you all. Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure on the frame damage. I agree, it's hard to tell in the pictures. I'd have to assume yes given it was a complete write off. Unfortunately the new owner has zero information on the damage. I actually found those pictures on my own.
