It looks straight to me. It looks like the bumper is just sagging causing the angle, my bumpers sags a lot worse and has a much worse gap and never been in an accident. The fenders and front rad support look straight though. If you see the car in person I'd also get under it and check out the lower part of the rad support to make sure its straight.
 
if you're really in the market i'd carfax or autocheck it. i was in the market for one this past summer and you won't believe what you can find on there. you obviously can't find everything about a car on the checks but if i'm seeing anything that says "stolen" or "wrecked" i'm staying away :)
 
looks to me more like the passenger side bumper is sagging down, as opposed to the hood being out of alignment. The hood lines up at the top edge, it's at the bottom edge of the hood lip that it doesn't line up...that's the bumper, not the hood. I think it could be normal sagging/warping from age.
 
I've seen that look before and it was on a car where the front clip was changed due to a minor accident. The rest of it looks straight with good fender alignment. If it is as it seems, I wouldn't dismiss the car over it - maybe use it as a bargaining lever on price.
 
The Carfax should be a must, someone on here might be able to run the VIN for you as a freebie. If not, they are cheap and well worth the money. Also check the little VIN stickers on the hood and fenders to see if the front clip has been replaced, that is if you have good eyes and good lighting. They should all match, but I just looked at mine and they are almost unreadable.
