YMMV, but I'd be wary of this car. It takes a LOT of structural damage to 
total a practically new car. This car may never drive like a new one 
again... and it surely won't have the structural integrity of an undamaged 
example, nor the panel fit.

Does the car have a salvage title? Unless you want to keep it until it 
disintegrates, you'll always have that to lower your car's resale value.
Considering all these things, $20k might not be that much of a bargain.

BTDT, drove a few resurrected-totalled cars. Many were superficially 
perfect but far from it underneath.  I'd prefer an older but undamaged car.

But then again, as I wrote: YMMV.

My $0.02, etc.
