It's a 92 SC300 w/ 165K miles, a branded salvage title and a half roached interior with ripped seats, arm rest, cluster bulbs burnt out, and that's just from what I can see in 5 pictures.
A few frame pulls will put the top of the core support and left apron back where it needs to be. The bottom part concerns me most and I can't see the extent of the damage. From there looks like a headlight, hi-beam,cornering lamp, fender, front bumper support structure, bumper cover, absorber, bumper reinforcement, hood/hinges/struts, fan shroud, the fluid cooler lines and washer tank, windshield and possible ac condenser/radiator damage.
One one hand the impact seems pretty soft given that it hit loose enough dirt to not pop a bag, given that the left side sensor is right in that area. That car is a 92 being that there is no passenger side airbag.
On the other it had to have hit something pretty solid to drive the fender in to the apron like that. That wheel has been replaced. You're going to have to check the control arms, tie rods and subframe for damage and get the car aligned.
Take a look at the fuse/relay block behind the battery and make sure it's not damaged. That's a pain to replace.
So you have frame damage, sheetmetal damage and suspension damage. With the year/miles/condition I'd let this one slide on by. BUT! If you do decide to go ahead with this, please do the world a favor and choose another bodyshop to do the work this time. The repair the last guys made to your gold car looks pretty rough. No offense.

Well you didn't say what you wanted it for. As a parts car it's worth a nice bit. Nice 5 speed, engine, etc..... $1,400 - $1,600 for a real 5 speed car. As a re-build I wouldn't put more than $1,200 into it at best. Too much to do to put more in it initially.
