I think I see the problem - WAY too much positive camber in the right rear

Probably just forgot to tighten the nuts. Easy fix. Just push it back in place and torque to spec.

base on the price dealer gave me on fixing my previous car, I would say this car would need another over 80k to fix it.

I expect that is due to seat airbag deployment.

It's also variously listed as a 2014 2011 3.4 liter / 350bhp. So it may not have been in great shape before the minor incident. Or maybe it's one of those hybrids.

These wrecks are coming up about once a week on eBay from insurance wholesalers. They all price in the same optimistic price range.

"A PROFESSIONAL BODY SHOP CAN GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF THE DAMAGE SIMPLY THROUGH THESE PHOTOS..."

That would be the definition of an unprofessional body shop imo.

I would have to imagine the damage done to the car is going to cost a small fortune to fix. Anyone else think it's an off at the track with the number still in the window, etc.? Wonder how it would be a State Farm car then... and it would be nice if they posted the correct specs for a GT3, they're not that hard to find.

They must be using an estimate from Auto Gallery or one of the other stealers to get to the market value.
