I went and seen the car yesterday too. I dont think the left rear wheel was damaged, I just think it had a spare (Front) wheel instead of a proper Offest/Width wheel. Some clown said to me that they widened only one side of the car... For real!!! I wouldn't think you would need to spend 30k to make it right.
At least a complete paintjob though, The clear wore away on the passanger side door or an aggressive polished got to it. I have had paint jobs done on a car like this in the past for $5k that came out great, probally another $2k in mouldings and it would look very good. Recover the seats, reinstall the speakers and radio and I think it would make a good daily driver. The smoke was very minimal. The intercooler looked cool

It was either $41k or $42k, probably the latter as I recall. And, I'll respectfully disagree with the poster who characterized the exhaust smoke as minimal...it was enough to be unacceptable. People were moving away from the rear of the car. One may be able to get away with putting $10k into the car if they're lucky, but I still think $52k is way too high for this car. The Arena Red 97 Turbo with 37k miles that was sold around Thanksgiving in NJ went for upper $50s (the dealer was asking $59k; the salesman told me $55k was too low, but $57k might take it.). Colors aside, IMHO there is no way this OB Turbo is anywhere near that AR's league.
