I'm really not considering this since I live on the other side of the country and wouldn't be able to drive this before I bought it. But if the only issues were cosmetic and everything mechanically was in good condition, how much do you thing it would cost to repair this WRX?

A LOT if you want it to look good and be done right. I wouldn't bother with it.

If you got a leak down compression test and it came back good and all mounts/frame are good I would look into it purely as a drive forever car due to horrible resale value. But it could be a fun.

OP you should take your 12 grand and just flush it down the toilet.

and then take the 4-6 grand it would take to fix it and make a bonfire with it.

Thats what youll wish you did when that thing completely shits itself less than 5000 miles down the road.

Pass on it. Its been sitting there for quite some time too if the metal has already begun to oxidize.

Take your money and invest it in a non salvage title.

When subarus get in accidents, they basically turn into italian cars as far as costs are concerned.
