buying a overturned car

[Dani]

Hy ,
i would like to know what to look for at an xc90, an overturned xc90 , the one in the pictures below.
the owner says that the only problems are at the bodywork , mirrors, headlight hood,roof, stuff like that that can be repaired .
the car starts and runs fine but i dont know if it could suffer mechanical damage during or after the overturn.
is the engine and the transmision still ok , what should i look for ?
thank you

in advance.

thank you all again for advices,
i intended to buy this car to keep it for daily drive, to own as the only car.
meanwile i have been talking to the owner and it seems that there are more damaged parts than first listed.
the wheels are not in the right position any more, damaged suspension as well.
i have a friend who could pull it off (bodywork) but he is not that cheap anyway.
+ paintwork + parts + suspension + diagnose + a lot of service time + the risk of not look or drive so good after all of this and costs- probably slightly lower than a whole car.
thanks to your feedback and my wife’s i walked away from it, it’s the right decision.

i am looking to upgrade from a ssangyong Rexton 2.9D to a Volvo XC90 and this flashed before my eyes.
thank you very much for your suport.

Good choice.

Good call. Since you are looking for a daily driver try to find something that is ready to drive and reliable.
