I have no answers, but to me, it looks like it fell roof first off a parking garage

Rollover, I suspect a few times rolling over ....at least 720°....probably ending up on its top. OUCH!

My guess is an impact on the front drivers side which the rolled the car. It looks like it immediately went on the top, rubbed the passenger side front fender for a bit and then it looks like it hit something just behind the rear passenger side door. Whatever that was was about 3-4 feet high because its actually below the rear wheel. Funny thing is, it didn't even have to be at a substantial speed because the chassis is mangled but remained intact protecting the occupants. I bet they walked away. Hoping the drivers side door remained closed and was further damaged getting it open to extract the driver. Not without some bumps and bruises of course. Hopefully. Just a guess based on the ten pictures supplied. Too bad. Not many useable parts left. Engine and transmission maybe.

I like the fact that the convertible top was structurally sound enough to shield the passengers in a rollover. I also like the fact the insurance company thinks a 2005 SC is worth $18,000.

Retail, a 2005 with 65K miles in excellent condition KBB puts the car around $17 - $18K. My 06 with 63K was valued at over $19k according to my credit union.
