I wouldn't give much for it.
No bumper, busted side and tail light, holes in the trunk lid, and I'll be shocked if it's not deformed from that stoopid wing.
My 2 cents.

No engine or battery cover, looks like the right rear was hit, tailpipe/muffler needs to be replaced.
If it's an automatic, I wouldn't touch it.

Well seeing that this is copart and they sell insurance cars that are broken or wrecked and looking it at they could have been rear ended and that's why it's there but it's probably got some good miles on it so most likely it is about to die so I would plan on maybe having to replace the engine but you could also get lucky and maybe they had the engine replaced. Other then that the car could be fixed on on the outside

Car is a 6 speed, you can see the clutch line by the brake booster.
Minor damage to the exhaust, likely repairable by a competent muffler shop.
Going to need a fair amount of body work, and body work gets expensive. To be honest, it might be cheaper buying a car with a perfect body and toast motor than a perfect motor and needing tons of body work to get looking clean again.
Wheels, exhaust, suspension... plenty of parts can be purchased second hand to save money upgrading the car. You're better off buying something else. I would pay max of $500 for that car.

agree i wouldn't pay more than $500 for that car, unless you can confirm the engine was just rebuilt by a good shop, then maybe you could buy it just for the engine to put in a car that doesn't require tons of body work. that wing is hideous.

Then you're going to need to read the new owner stickies.
If you're willing to do your own work then this forum is probably your best resource.

If you're driving it home, drive it straight home without stopping.
If you need to stop for gas, leave the engine running.
Don't shut it off until you get it home, then shut it off and see if it will start right back up.

When the car is hot it shouldn't take longer then 5 second's to start back up, If it does it's got low compression.

^Right, and if it's bad it could take a half hour to cool off enough to start again.
Don't want you to burn up your starter or kill your battery until you're home.

Discord?
You will find more than enough help here if you can write legible thoughts.
I can't speak for most members, but I use the forum in my spare moments at work or home when I can find time.
I can make myself understood and understand others better if I read the written word.
I've been a member for years and have never spoken to anyone over the phone, and only a couple of members in person for a social meeting.
