Hello Everyone, I just bought myself an s2k last week. Upon buying it I knew it had a rebuilt title and I knew it had some problems such as a broken sway bar link, and control arm. After driving the car everything seemed fine, it pulls slightly to the left with no other issues while driving. It wasn't until I went to get the car aligned where I realized I had other major issues. I dropped the car off at local body shop to survey the damage and the extent and cost is overwhelming.

The use of bondo is evident. I know I was naive to make this mistake but here I am. I bought a car that I knew would have no resale value any greater than what I bought it for while now additionally knowing that its damage is greater than I thought. Does anyone with any background here know if this price is reasonable. I do not care about the use of aftermarket parts as I just want the car to be safe enough to drive, it was not bought to be a track car. Right now the car "feels fine" on the road but I am also not pushing it at all. I am located in CT if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

It certainly doesn't look bad. The body panels probably don't match up perfectly but I am fine with how it looks, getting it completely safe and functional is my main concern right now.

Welcome to S2KI! I'd get a second opinion. You might ask in the New York Metro section for recommended shops near you.
