I kind of like the open wheel look.
Are cars on salvage titles ever worth anything again? I guess it will always be worth something to someone. I wonder what the repair estimates are. Any guesses?

2nd- look at the crease behind the door- the car's seriously twisted.
Who knows what kind of damage there is underneath the car- it obviously doesn't need just a fender. That will require some serious time on a frame machine.
Unless you can have a body guy look at the car in person, I wouldn't do it.
Plus, the price is way too high...

It's easy to fit new bumpers, doors, lights, etc....
BUT, that rear quarter is gonna cost!
The car is too expensive, and will never be worth anything
Plus, is there any pride in owning a salvage?

Forget about it, the airbag opened even though it wasn't a severe frontal impact, it got hit hard and probably have damaged more than what you see there missing on the front driver's side.
Has whole bunch of stuff and also the back is messed up would not touch it.
If you fix it and think you'll get one cheap it will look like ****.
If you want to fix it properly, it will cost more than just buying a regular not damaged 996tt. And the undamaged one will be much better anyway.
It's rare that it's worth fixing a car in general, especially a high end car unless the damage was superficial and in a specific spot you can address and that's it. This one is beaten up.
