A cheap way to BUY an 07 base Z
this car is not worth fixing even the right exhaust tip is missing. i say if you own an already paid old model z with lotta miles just do an engine swap

Trust me. I have seen alot worse then that get fixed as new for a decent price.
I know someone who did it with a pretty new Z too.
Someone with body experience and hookup on some parts could fix that well under $10k. Id go to say even pretty far under $8k

But no, it doesn't cost that much to fix this car. I'm telling you from experience. It's not for a person to buy it , bring it to a bodyshop, and get everything fixed. You will end up paying just as much as a new one and also it won't be worth anythign because of salvage. You have to be an idiot to do that. I repeat, it's for someone with bodyshop skills, has a bodyshop at home or owns a bodyshop.
