A4 B8 -> S6 C7 car hunt....but need advice on this 'crashed' candidate

[Dasquade]

Okey, so after 7 years cruising in my modded diesel A4 B8 i'm seriously considering to move to a 'midlife-crisis' S6 C7 aavnt in light van convertion (no backseats).
RS6 C7 is out of my price league (versus used milage), but i'm sure a second hand S6 C7 will do the trick (and tune :p).
Since i'm near Germany and need an import anyway, luckly the cars often come pretty loaded with options.
In the end still bit limited to a budget (+ extra budget for modding as i did before).

So i found this damaged and repaired S6 C7 pre facelift (not so many facelift models availible yet here sadly, i'm aware of the better gearbox of facelift).
Highlights of the car:
42.000km
ceramic breaks (front/back)
pano roof
adaptive suspension
sports diff
night vision/hud/acc/lane assist/parking ass + 360° cams
brilliant black
sport seats
maybe few other small options i forget atm but basicly fully optioned.

The car was pretty damaged body wise as seen on the pictures, but everything got pulled and repaired. Front fender replaced.
Not worring too much about the body work (might one day do a wrap also) and maybe do RS6 body kit convertion anyway.
My biggest consurn is the damage done from the final impact on the wheels/axles!
Not sure how the accident happend, but looks he slided and scrapped both sides (fender-doors-wheels) and made a big impact on the front right passenger wheel.
The impact made the wheel smash into the inner wheel well/frame :(.
Altough the seller claims he let the repair done by professional repairshop, he couldn't provide me with a detailed list of damage and repaired items.
He only mentioned they replaced the front drive shaft (in broken english, he is german).
Claims the car got inspected and back in perfect condition.
Just worried they did a quick/cheap fix.

Sadly it is a 350km drive, but probebly go check it out on monday. Do testdrive and visual inspection under the car.
I asked for alignment report after repair (waiting his answer).

I know i should walk away from it and never look back, but somehow at +-49.000€ it keeps me interested. Might be able to get some more of the price (comes from 52.000€).

Any techn able to help me out figuer what happend, what might be damaged or snapped (offset wheel), what the possible (internal) damage could have been, what i should be looking for while testdriving it and inspecting it?

Kind regards.

I'd stay away from a car with that much damage. It likely won't ride or drive like it should and your experience will be lessened.

The more i look at it (impact on 4 wheels) the more i want to run away from it. Afaik even soft impacts can slightly bent rods, arms, subframe, drive shafts, suspension. From what i understand they only did mayor repairs on the right front, but even without a detailed repairlist i'm affraid it is a super risk....for future wear or damage :(.
Even if the 'after' alignment info shows all inline number, i know that is only half of the story.
A wast of a damn nice car......
