Collapsed shock or deeper?

Hey all,

Been looking for a 944 lately and this one is within my budget. I'm concerned about the bumper as to my untrained eye it looks a bit more pushed in than I'd give the collapsible shocks credit for based on some of the pictures I've seen. No guarantee obviously, but can anyone comment on whether this is conceivably within that travel or likely the shock fully collapsed and there's underlying body/frame damage?

Thanks!

Looks to me as if it is collapsed on the right side only, so definitely had a good bump on that side. Don't know from this one picture if there's more serious damage behind it or not. You'll probably need to get under the car, or maybe in the wheel well to see what's there.

Looks like normal shock collapse to me.
