Default Is it safe to drive?

I didn't expect I won but I won an online auction and paid it. Now i need to decide if I fix myself or just call a junk yard to pick it up.
The car is still in their parking lot. I checked the car today and found lots of transmission fluid on the floor. I guess they came through the CV axle seal. Does it mean it needs a new cv axle seal or new cv axle?
Also the tire is pushing against to the fender at 3 clock. Does it need a new control arm?

Something to think about.

What if you had a skilled mechanic look at the vehicle and after a reasonable inspection (can't see everything) provided a more practical estimate of the full extent of the damage . (There may be unseen damage until disassembled). At least you would have better idea of where you stand.
I would think ,,,,,,,,,that might help you decide if you want to go ahead with repairs or unload it to maybe get your $$$ back.
