Wonder how fast they were going?
I wonder if the owner was badly hurt, hopefully not?

That wasn't no deer! Hitting a deer at high speed wouldn't even do that much damage, it would just end up in the windshield.
That had to have been another car, or a concrete median on a divided highway.
I like how the add says "WOULDN'T COST MUCH TO FIX TO THE RIGHT GUY. HERE IS A REAL BODYMANS SPECIAL".
LOL, that car IS totaled for sure...even the firewall is smashed out of shape from everything being pushed into it and cracked up the windshield.

That's not enough damage for 63 MPH, the spoiler might have been manually deployed or tested at the junkyard to see if it still works. From the amount of damage, I'd guess about a 30 MPH crash, or less. The above poster is correct, that car is done, its not worth fixing. With the unibody construction, it's pretty much impossible to repair after such damage.

A good body shop set up with the right "Jigs" could turn that car over pretty fast, and probably not have 12 or 13k in it. To an unsuspecting buyer (who played it safe and had CarFax done on it) all he would see is the low mileage, and great bodywork, and probably think he got a fantastic deal for 18 to 20k.
I think in the industry, the term is, The car has been "halved".
Sort of gives a whole new meaning to the term, "Buyer beware".
