Yeah I was talking to the place that is selling it, and I said it would cost a ____ load to repair and his response was:
"No way, it should only cost you about 5K to 6K to get this thing all fixed"
And that raised an eyebrow.

I can't afford a new TC - so I was hoping I could just fix this up to "road worthy"ness, as in enough to pass inspection. I dont care about the dents on the right side, but I would definatly need a new left fender, hood, bumper, lights, sunroof, windshield and probably new front windows.....yeah thats a goldmine right there I guess - especially since the TC is relatively new..parts are probably and arm and a leg...

I mean really, does that stuff look fun? Is that cool? That stuff happens when you don't wear a belt kiddies.

that crash cost about 8K to fix, so I dont think the salvage scion is worth it.

In order for it to be worth it you would need to have a total of HALF the cars value invested upon full repair. In my mind, a perfectly good (but salvaged) vehicle is worth half of a clean titled one. That means a total of $7-8k upon full repair. So if you get the car for $3K, you should only pay $4-5K for repairs. Not gonna happen with that car...
