    "Engine and transmission intact." Too bad it's probably been whaled on for most of its 120,000-mile life, with minimal maintenance.

    Just replace (all) the body panels and un-accordian the unibody and you'll have a beaten WRX for cheap.

    "Engine and trans intact" isn't ANY WHERE near enough info.

    Judging by the front end damage, strong possibility the timing pulleys were trashed. Happens all the time in Subie front-enders. They are plastic, hang on the front of the engine, and rarely survive a wreck.

    The cocked wheel makes me wonder if the tranny could have taken a hard side hit through the half-shaft.

    The hood line makes me wonder whether the intercooler could have taken a hit transferring through to the engine.

    Having said that, I'd buy it. I've bought worse, and had a lot of luck salvaging those motors and trannies out of wrecks like that.

    I'm hoping that was a joke, but there was no smilie, so I'm not sure. No chance. The cage and overall structure are destroyed.

    I will go ahead and say that there is not one salvagable part on that car.
