You state that swingarm is broken. I would be extremely wary that the force applied to the swingarm to break it has not twisted the frame at the swingarm pivot. If the frame is bent, it is doubtful the bike will ever be 'straight' again.

It sounds like this bike has taken a huge impact and Soulkiss's advice on price is very good.

Personally I would walk away.

EDIT: Seen the pics now! The swing arm looks ok and overall the bike does not look that bad.
