To make an informed decision, you need to take it in to the dealer and get an estimate on repairing the damage and a PPI. Then you can assess whether it is a good deal or not by looking at what it will cost you to put the car on the road. You have a local Porsche dis-assembler, Nineapart, that might be a good source for used body parts. (Or, I have a bumper cover from an '03, in silver, that we could negotiate a price on.)

No offense to you guys - I know that you all know your stuff mechanically on these cars, but this isn't the US market and prices are quite a bit higher for these cars in Canada. It looks like it has the potential to be a really good deal to me, although I would be doing the work myself for the most part.

Here is a rough idea of what you are looking at. Had some free time at work today and wrote up an estimate for what I could see. Hard to be accurate with the pics but this is what I could see. I wouldn't worry about frame damage. Doesn't look to bad of a hit. It just adds up because its Porsche.

Also I know this estimate is based on a 2000 Boxster but it will get you in the neighborhood.

Edit: As others said, I would bank on some hidden damages.
