You can tear up the hoods and levers like that by having the bike tip over on you too. If you look at the value of the parts separately, how far behind are you if the frame is trashed? I'd still insist on a personal inspection, though I'm not seeing anything in the pictures that gives me immediate pause. Laying a bike down on its side is the 'best' way to crash a bike, vs. running headfirst into something or having your rear triangle hit.
