Agreed, and to be honest if your a learner you probably wouldnt really notice it if it is different.

how much is it costing to fix?
That car isnt worth 1k....
take the repair bill... and about 300 that you could make selling te fucked car/parts..
Is it near to 1k?

its 600 to get it fixed....in my eyes it will still be worth 1100-1200! so its worth it and im not paying for it so i dont care!

i'd take the 600 and go look for a new car.
I cant guarantee that front end will be rusting to buggery..... the tracking will never be 100% again etc.
If your happy, you're happy though

but chris, you for one should know, if a has been bent before, the tracking will never ever be right again, its a nightmare job to sort the suspension geometry out after a shunt like that
