It doesnt look like car had a big impact. Impact is an impact but it doesnt "look" like it has or would have a frame damage

Please put your imput

Thanks

Quite the contrary... based on gaps around doors - err lack there of, damage to front, damage to rear and underbody, that sweet car got squeezed big time!.

FWIW, "earning" a salvage title in most states means estimated repair costs exceed 75% of its value.

There's a lot of work needed on that one before you even look at the drive train...

I wouldn't buy that car with your money. Wrinkles in the top when closed suggest the distance between the rear top boot and the windshield has been shortened. Passenger right rear fender has been pushed out of alignment more than the damage to the rear bumper would suggest. The front boot latch has been sheared off the hood without any other noticable damage which is interesting to say the least. Front bumper must have been pushed down quickly with a good deal of force. Would love to have seen how the damage to the car was inflicted. Would have made a great YouTube video. Great video but the car would be a lousy investment.

It looks twisted. Insurance companies only salvage a car for a good reason!!! And no matter what you would do to it, it would still have a salvage branded title!!!

Yep, salvage title cars are nearly impossible to sell especially a Porsche or high end car. People who looks for these cars usually have some money.

Would be a good parts car but that's about it.
It's definitely twisted and the overall length has been shortened by 4-5".
Looks like a good front end rear end squish crash

Not worth it to repair. Parts, maybe?

funny, every body part seems in good shape.
but "frame" is all twisted.

usualy you should search for the opposite: straight "frame" with broken body part (bumper, fender and headlight) to replace.
