Get that car up on a lift and check to see if the front end damage extends beyond the cosmetic. Check to see if the suspension is nice and solid.

Also, it would be a good idea to do a compression leakdown test to get a good idea of how healthy the motor is. Pop the valve cover and inspect the timing belt to make sure that it is indeed new. Make sure the CEL is operational and see if the computer is throwing any codes. If all checks out and it drives good, I'd say you are getting a fair deal.
