if its got 150,000 its not worth fixing if if it had less WHO KNOWS IF THE FRAME IS FUCT... Either way i would buy back from the insurance company if i had the $ for an engine to build and parts to sell on the marketplace and egay
i know if the frame is 'fuct' if i get under the car for 5 seconds and so does an insurance adjuster.
150k miles is nothing (im a chevy guy) if you can maintain an engine halfway properly.
get it on a frame rack. the computers will tell you if the unibody frame is bent. if not, its a fairly simple fix. does it drive straight? or at all? it may just need a new quarter panel , cheap bumper reinforcment and bumper.if you dont have the cash do a riveted on widebody. because racecar.
if the car is in your driveway. look at where the A arm attatches to the frame. (where the silver aluminium connects to your red frame). if the red mounts are pushed back in the frame it could be bad. if it looks straight and the same as the other side it could have a chance at revival. GL. I know the gut wrenching feeling very well. and i saved all my vehicles.

Reason: spelling
Rear quarters are a pain to repair. Per quarter you are looking at $2-3k in just repairing that quarter and painting. So two quarters = 4k, rear bumper 1k, frame damage? uhhh.... $a lot.
