Depends... If it's just a slow parking scrape it shouldn't do any harm. If it's drifting round corners and hitting kerbs it can do all sort of suspension and steering damage lol...

Interior looks pretty decent for the miledge.
I'd be banking on at least having to replace both front suspension arms.

I can't see it going for much more than a grand tbh, they just don't hold value as theres so many around.

A large amount of that is corrosion, initiated by kerbing. Common for Ford wheels with raised lips it seems.
Kerb it, lift the paint and the lacquer and the rest of it falls off. You'll note that it follows the raised castellations around the rim of the wheel, then stops on each spoke generally.
