I do not know what is horrible about it in your mind, but I am very disturbed how much damage the Foci on that site have.

They either have very bad fate, and get hit/crash at very high speeds, or they are just not safe enough... there is one where the dash is all fallen apart... something that should not happen to a car.

the side damage on your pic is enourmous.. without SAB that damage is a quick ticket for several weeks at a hospital... and I do not know how much the SAB can help in that much damage either..

I looked at Mazda 3 on that site and there was considerably less "deep" damage to their bodies... (but again, might have been less intense crashes)..

This is not suppoed to happen to a dash of a safe car...

the car did get hit form an unusual angle - it looks like it hopped off of the road down into something.. but it should still be able to handle it better.

the car seems to be equipped for limited-foot-useage driving - i.e. for people on wheelchair or with other disability.

I friend of mine from college was driving a car that was used for a person with less foot control.. it had the trucker turn and it had a lever for the gas and break... etc..

this car has a lever(s) on the left of the steering wheel .. the lever has black handle, but you can see the metal rod going all the way down to the foot well... to the pedals. you can see more metal things down there too... it is pretty sure a sign of hand control retrofit.

I was looking around on the eRepairables site and saw a Marauder that is said had a clean title. I ran an OASIS on the VIN and it came up that there was no warranty and the title was branded! Guess it really is buyer beware!
