Can't imagine trying to rehab this one.... Sad to look at.

That is a very sad sight. It would cost a pretty penny to put her back together.

LOL I love how they're still trying to pass it off with a positive note. "This vehicle sustained light rollover damage" The body panels are gone, the glass looks broken, and the rear wheels are folded inward!

Fixer uppers are about the biggest rip off ever, IMO. That may be feasable if they dont plan on selling it for more than 5000, then that may be an idea.

No need to be so harsh. We don't know the details of the crash. :)

Held structural integrity well for a rollover.

Agreed.

Still can't see purpose for rebuild as you'll never be able to legally title (as new) or insure against collision/theft/comprehensive.

Worth it for the engine & transmission, they're probably OK.

But not many '02-'03 Q45s that need a new engine or transmission....

Can't imagine this as anything other then a parts car - If it was "rehabbed", I’m guessing it might border on criminal to claim the frame and all could be trued up as good as new - but considering what we all rack up on parts costs with Joe - Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Any body wiz types w/access to computer frame straightening tools - I’d be very interested in a rough idea if a car in this shape has any kind of realistic hope beyond heading to the boneyard - for a somewhat reasonable cost ?

Well if its a salvage title then the Insurance totaled it...thats at least 80% of the value...and as most of us know insurance companies are cheap:).
