Wow that car has had $59,000 in damage in 3 accidents, 2 fairly significant and the little one was only 10k, seems they just keep plowing it into the back of other cars as all 3 where rear-ending another car so mostly the same damage 3 times and it looks like the bumper is currently scraped.
Overall that car looks like a beater, paint is failing on the front fender and clearcoat is failing behind the front door, indicates poor paintwork and that possibly the whole side of the drivers side of the car was re-cleared and is failing, but it is mars red and that had paint issues to begin with. Non factory wheels so that alone makes it worth 3k less if they are not included and they look better than what is on it. It is missing the 507 stripe likely because they had to remove it for paint and OEM it is like $2000 so just saved the money.
Unless that car is like half price I would keep looking, I wouldn't want it even at half price, that car was not loved in it's life.

Thanks for the reply!
I guess I should have included my intentions with the car. Plan to supercharge it and drive it for about 4-6 months of the year April-October. A wide body kit might be something as a possibility in the future as well.
The car is about half price compared to other 507s listed in the entire country.
What is the 507 strip you’re referring to?

The stripe on the side
Your project doesn't mean anything to the value of the car
When you buy a wrecked car just realize a few things
1) it's more fragile if you have another accident and maybe not as safe... Don't think of yourself.. think of your gf, wife, brother , sister in the passenger seat
2) just realize the next buyer will pay even less as it has more owners

like others have mentioned, it depends on the details of the accidents; with a fixer-upper, you could potentially score one with a "deal"; since it's going to have extensive mods that will depreciate the value anyways, you could potentially reach what you plan to accomplished with a much lower cost.
some with slashing of interior (revengeful ex's?) would deem the car totaled/salvaged, and i think that would be completely acceptable; but in your specific case of "multiple" collision that damages the frame/sub-frame? probably not worth any deal.
happy hunting.
