I disagree about auctions. Lots of great cars go through auctions, lots of lease turn ins, etc. It is also possible that the three reports were over the same accident (Ins. Co., Body Shop, and Mechanical work) because it has a "hard" hit, like into the concrete wall. On this one, I'd question whether it has a straight piece of metal on it. As someone above said, 50% of price and you should expect to have it forever or take a monumental loss to sell.
