Suspension totaled?

Just bought the car at an auction, the rear tire is cocked towards rear, any chance it is just the toe that is out or do you think something might be seriously wrong with rear suspension? Here is a pic:

definitely bigger issue than toe adjustment. lower control would have to have a serious bend in it for that much angle. Its either that or the subframe bent. Should be easy enough to see by comparing sides.

lower control arms probably broke off along with the toe control arms. axles probably need to be replaced along with the abs sensors. rear subrame could be bent also.
