Default Bent Wheel

Hey so I'm new to the forums. I just had a quick question a s2000. Im looking at buying one used, and the guy is asking pretty cheap for it, but there is a problem. The front left tire seems to be bent a little inward. I was wondering if someone could tell me what would most likely be bent. Like is the tire out of alignment, or is the axle bent? Or could it possibly be another part of the wheel? Anyways what ball park are we talking about for price range. Thanks a lot.

It could be a number of things. If the wheel is bent the steering wheel will vibrate. Have an alignment done and you should be able to tell.

Could be a bent control arm. Signs can be curb rash on wheels and tires.
