worth buying a home in need of foundation repair?

I'm looking into buying a repo home that needs some work... the worst of it being foundation repair. The walls are bowed and leaking. Here's pictures: http://s74.photobucket.com/albums/i250/elementx440/foundation/

The house is 1800 square feet. A couple people quoted me prices, around $180 a linear foot to dig up and rebuild the whole deal. I wouldn't be opposed to that as it would make for a nice new basement. Can anyone just give me a ballpark number to dig up and do what needs to be done? I supposed I could justify the purchase so long as I didn't spend over $15-$20k to get a true fix.
