Not pretty...
I mean, the paint, the first look - awesome car. I am hoping to get mine in such state one day.

Wheels themselves can come out at 4k.... add tranny (with labor) and you are at 7-10k easily.
All the pieces I see, and my experience with cost on Porsche parts is limited, but suspension itself looks to me like 2-4k job.

Hard to exactly assess. Frame might be tipping point here.
I guess, I would take money and try to repair it. If not, sell it for the shell and engine, assuming it was not damaged during the impact.
